As we have pointed out time and again, it is next to impossible to keep
European bees in an area that is completely Africanized, like the Yucatan,
or southern Arizona. It would certainly require an influx of pure EHB and
continual requeening. 

Collecting swarms, walk away splits, using open mated cells -- all these
techniques are the royal road to acquiring localized stock. The localized
stock of the Sonoran Desert in Africanized. All of this is fully documented
in the Archives and not new.

Furthermore, the bees mentioned have been tested; the operator believes the
testing is flawed and proves nothing. The scientists are all fools, have
Faith in the small cell and all will turn out famously in the long run.
