Right.  Good point, and Brazil is making a lot of honey with AHB as I 
understand it.  I also seem to recall that AHB in Brazil is different from 
the AHB that reached the US, and, of course it has been there much longer so 
they have had more time to adjust.

Actually, though, I was thinking about the US when I wrote, but Guzman would 
know.

I wonder how much the movement through Mexico and Central America changed 
AHB?

I know Mexican bees (at least the ones I worked with) were muy caliente even 
before AHB.
