Well Hi Chris:
If this being true, then the now similar German Black  bees
could be said to be AHBs,


Reply:
Could very well be this, as it was proported that AHB breed
true and if scuts, then, other colorations are what? Also,
if technically only one of the several matings
could,may,might be AHB then and could be picked out by
coloration looking like Scuts, then if 90% is other, why
doesn't the major non-AHB dictate then what it is called
for a hive make-up? Also, if Australia is screening out
with DNA like mentioned here on BEE-L aggressive gene
markers for bees being imported there, then are they
zeroing into Scuts or anything with that gene for again a
generic nomenclature that anything now hot is AHB or
non-descript? So if any hot bee can be a stinging incident,
then why not just say by "Aggressive Bees period" as there
have always been aggressive hot stinging incidents with
every race/strain.
