I have a question for the entomologists... In the Earth Almanac department of the April, 1996 National Geographic, there is a blurb about bees in Japan that use heat defense against giant hornats. I've also read of these bees in other bee literature My question is... Are these bees a race of Apis millifera or a member of one of the other four species of honey bee? I can't find any clues in the Hive And The Honey Bee. From the picture in the article, they sure look like honey bees.
