>>Not really.  We know that bees are hauled all over the US and that this 
includes Africanized areas. >>

During the 2000's the State Inspector
was very big in testing programs in
this state.

Aggressive bees are sent to Penn State for
testing.  Between 06 and 2010, I have sent
several samples, and inspectors have visited
to take samples and turned up negative for 
AHB. 

>>So, I gather we are in agreement?

I am reporting on the feral resurgence
here in PA because I believe it is of interest
to the list members.

Evidence from Penn State points towards
European honeybee genetics in the ferals 
which are rebounding, and against AHB influence.
I hope that evidence would rule over speculation 
on this list.

I know it is difficult for beekeepers from regions
which have no ferals, OR other management 
practices to understand what is occurring
in other regions.  Thats why I report on my
region, and leave others to report on their 
own region.

I am simply reporting on my observations.
If anyone has a problem with my first hand 
account of the feral resurgence here in SW 
PA,  I encourage them to contact Penn 
State for facts, and hold the speculation 
until you have gained more facts on the matter.

Best Wishes
Joe Waggle
SW Pennsylvania
