Hi: The comments about Africanized bees bring up an interesting issue. Given the media infatuation with horror stories, one hears rumors that some towns and cities are rushing to pass ordinances prohibiting keeping of bees. Seems like we need to encourage Pro-Beekeeping Ordinances. If you outlaw European bees, AHB might end up being the "urban" bees. Seems like we need to keep as many EHB as possible to compete for nest sites and for mating. Jerry Bromenshenk
