For suspicious finds in the United States here is a cut and paste from the
May 2005 "American Bee Journal" article, The Price of California’s Almond
Pollination, Part II:
"If you have found a suspicious hive or swarm that is quite aggressive
call your state apiary inspection service first (see: State Apiarist
Directory in the Internet reference section). Unfortunately, many states
no longer fund a state apiarist position or an apiary inspection service.
The following contact, URL, and telephone number is given so that the
reader may contact the Carl Hayden Bee Research Center directly. Those ABJ
readers that do not have a state apiary inspection service may wish to
send a 40 to 60 bee sample of suspected AHB in a vial covered with ethanol
alcohol labeled with your phone number, name and address, and a note to:
Mona Chambers
Carl Hayden Bee Research Center
200 E. Allen Road
Tucson, AZ 85719
Ms. Chambers may be reached by phone at (520) 670-6380 EXT 105; the web
page for this important service is:
