I had a friend that had them last year. They were gentle and produced a lot of
honey
until late in the fall, when for some reason or the other they superseded the
queen.
After the supercedure they were very agressive.... You couldn't get withen 20
feet
of the hive without a suit on.
I also had them some years ago with the same results.
I think about all hybreds do about the same.
I stay with the Italians or caucasians now. fwiw.
