Invasive species or not, if AHB are more in tune with
the floral sources, they will win by outperforming the
competition.

I want nothing to do with encouraging harmonious
coexistence between colonies in my yard.  They are in
direct competition with each other, poor performers
loose, and the best win.  Colonies in harmony with the
floral source win, and the colonies less in tune with
sources loose.
