Got back from the AHPA meeting in Arizona and I have to say after walking
around the desert I was impressed with the amount of bees I encountered.
Even in the mountains I had no trouble finding honey bees. Here in Vermont
you rarely see bees unless your near some hives. I'm assuming I was seeing
Africanized bees. While I was there two poor fellows where badly stung up,
seems they did everything wrong, tried to beat the bees off with a coat and
didn't run. Judging from the amount of bees I was seeing, swarming behavior
and whatever else has adjusted the Africanized bee to the mites quite
nicely.
