Greeting Garth,
     You are right about the stupid movies, [cinemas], and the media hype
about AHB.  The truth about AHB in old Mexico or South of the American
boarder is; No Problem.  They are there and the people of old Mexico
learned to work them.       From the many articles I've read from
entomologist along the Texas / Mexico border, it is a case of 'live with
them'.   Just as the people of the countries south of Mexico have
learned.   It appears that the larger apiaries are making a profit with
the AHB.
     Some of the other bees that are kept in old Mexico are quite
interesting and colorful.
