  You can control hot bees by way of instrumental insemination of the  queens, and frequent monitoring of your hives for aggresiveness.   At least that is my humble opinion, and hope.  I am looking into  the costs of learning how to artificial inseminate, equipment and  training, with the idea of possibly providing insemination services to  my area beekeepers.  They provide the virgin queens and the drones  to service them, and I provide the insemination services.  What do  the rest of you think of this solution to the Africanization problem?
