I am sorry to offend you, but we now keep about 900 +/-
colonies, and in working them back up, just have not seen
what you write as numerous descriptions of aggression, with
our bees, in all these years. I do hear of new locals
having problems, but then in working with them that ask,
the problems clear up as just basicly learning what to do
in the field, and how to open and go thru hives, and we are
talking 3/4/5 deeps here.
