I am NOT an alarmist; but the location of ARIZONA and the statement that THE
CELL
SIZE IS A BIT SMALLER is a strong indication of Africanized Honey Bees.

European bees such as Italians, Carniolans, and Caucasians all make cell
sizes of
55.3 / square inch, whereas the Africanized bee makes cell sizes of 64.4 /
sq. inch.

Africanized bees are in 5 states, Texas, Arizona, New Mexico, California, and
Nevada

These bees should be examined by Arizona authorities before being distributed.
