A lot depends on the definition of 'AHB'. If the term's restricted to scuts,
it's hard to see such a tropical race lasting in northern Europe. If the term
covers any African bee, then Tunisian queens were introduced to England in
about 1892 by a breeder named John Hewitt, and hyped as 'proof against foul
brood.' The same type was taken to the States by Frank Benton. Doubtless the genes
are still around.
