Well, I am reading about for the first time.  Perhaps it's well known in other beekeeping circles.  To be honest, I have no clue about what you are describing.  Would you simplify it for me please?  Is there  website that describes this by chance?  I am most interested in learning about this.

>>Well, what can I say, so much for hot killer bees, with us old women working them!

Well, there are African bees and African bees.  In South Africa, they keep African bees with large colonies.  Whether you have African bees or not, I do not know.  It matters not to me.

>>Kinda makes one wonder what has been lost, that now imports are supplying instead, while more and more...

The US is overly relying on cheap imports and getting itself into debt...  Excessive debt has a habit of catching up with people.
