Greetings. I too remember the "H" bees from my youth. My grandfather raised honeybees in Southern California. He had eight hives in his backyard. I was probably about 8 or 9 years old and he would give us some to play with. I don't remember what their honey production was like, but I also would be interested to hear from anyone with information about these interesting bees.
