Hi to everybody!

Following the debate on the possibilities in extent of AHB influence
into A.m.m. gene pool.
Would it not be a possibility that problems with Queen quality as widely
commented on by many beekeepers may be related to "Capensis"  influence
being wider in distribution than thought of at present? - (at least in
US.)

Realising that cause of Queen supersedure is difficult to control in a
precise manner.
Queens appear to be replaced in a colony when age of former should not
come into the equation.

Sorry dear Moderator:
Falling foul of the rumour regulations!
- it has been mentioned in the French beekeeping fraternity that
Africanised material is present in bee stocks in the south of France.
Official report or recognition being absent due to fear of causing
public concern and stirring up a nest of "Guepes"

Just waiting for the double "glazed" beesuits to appear in our
catalogues!
