>I agree with Charles, the bees we are using should do well in cold or hot climates. Colonies can't be "acclimated" individually. The only acclimation that could occur would be if isolated populations developed in particular geographic regions, which would probably take many decades and a degree of isolation not found in the contiguous USA. The bees in the US are a mixture and keep getting mixed every year.

Guess this is a good winter to test how those Texas bees survive our winters.
