Hi all

How about this for a possible scenario...

If capensis bees (or capensis like bees) existed as natives in US (or very
early introductions) would they not hybridise prefentially with the imported
scuts of Kerr?

Africanised bees only seems a problem in USA and South America, yet African
genes have been introduced both deliberately and accidentally into British
and other European bees and the Africanised behaviour does not develop.

Having said that we have our share of "nasty" bees in Britain.
