Allen asks: what exactly is AHB?

He brings up a lot of good points.  From my perspective, AHB in the U.S.
means Africanzed, not African Honey Bee.  From what I read, any AHB colony
in the U.S. is not likely to be purely African (genetically).

I'm not about to judge those colonies that fall somewhere between EHB and
AHB without morphometric, genetic, or other analysis.  However, I'm
reasonably confident that the hive in our video is NOT EHB.  I've dealt
with thousands of colonies, working in large commercial operations -- have
never seen the behavior evidenced in that video except for the hive in
Guatemala.

So, either the hive in the AHB zone of TX was AHB, or it was one really
nasty EHB hive.  Either way, termination is the only prudent remedy.
