Dear Isis,

I read with interest this discussion. It might shed some lights on the 
type of bees that is on the centre of this discussion, if you send samples 
for testing for Africanization. There is a free service available for 
testing bees for Africanization using morphmetrics. Please check this 
website: www.ars.usda.gov/research/docshtm?docid=11053
If further testing using DNA will be needed, you can contact Dr. Eric 
Mussen at University of California, Davis ([log in to unmask]). He might 
be able to arrange for the DNA testing at California Department of 
Agriculture where they do routinely this DNA test for Africanization.
