There is a group worried about AHB being identified in northern states.  In
fact, I had one NYS person tell me 'if we get AHB's, I'll lose every yard
but one, because of my proximity to people'.

They are, unfortunately, here.  Even if their overwintering success is zero,
every spring more will be introduced by the pollinators.  Instead of
worrying about whether they are 'here', (and accusing those who maintain
AHB's are here of crying WOLF) every beekeeper should requeen any hive
showing signs of being aggressive.  Stop arguing about definations, and do
the job of a responsible beekeeper.
