Hello Pasha & All,
> Does anyone have info on package bees from south texas? I mean behaviour
issue.
I have been waiting a long time for this post. I expected the post years
ago. I personally have heard of no behaviour problems with packages from
Weaver Apiaries in Texas and many of those are sent into our area. South
Texas covers a HUGE area could you be more specific to the area. If you
suspect AHB you can send a sample into any of the bee labs for testing . You
should notify the state inspector in your area now if you live in a non AHB
area. If your package came from a area close to a county with AHB all it
would take is one AHB drone to fly into a nuc mating area.
If you are not talking about your package being possible AHB I apologise for
my misunderstanding your post. If you are not happy with the temperment of
any package the only option is to requeen with another queen.
Sincerely,
Bob Harrison
