In todays's Indianapolis Star, in the light news sectioin, is a photo
of a beekeeper in Arizona apparently keeping killer bees.  In the
photo, 2 men are wearing protective suits, bee veils, and leather
gloves.  One is opening up the top of a hive, and a moderate number of
bees are crawling and flying around.  The caption reads, "Beekeeper
Reed Booth of Bisbee, Ariz., opens a hive of Africanized "killer" bees
at his Old Bisbee apiary.  He and partner Josh Krebs sell the killer
bees' honey and alos provide bee-removal service.  Up to 85 percent
of southeastern Arizona's bees may be the Africanized variety, consdiere
much fiercer than normal honeybees."
 
I didn't realize it was allowed to keep AHB.  Can this be true?
