>  Researchers can attempt to stand by what they have written and say that the AHB ( African hybrid Bee) is not a hybrid to cover their butts but does not make sense . If a scut drone mates with a European queen then its a hybrid!

Response:
The migrating force of the African honey bee in the American tropics consists of continuous African maternal lineages spreading as swarms. The mating of African drones to European queens seems to contribute little to African bee migration.
