Dee,

I've always read your posts with great interest and have gained great insight as a result.  One question keeps coming back to me.  Arizona, where your operation is located, has had Africanized honeybees for some time now.  AFB take over EHB colonies.  What is your experience with AFB taking over your colonies and how do you maintain your stock 'purity'?  [I put purity in quotes since it's not possible to control it completely in open mating.]  Have you seen more defensive behavior in your colonies in recent years?

Thank you.

Waldemar
