Our state bee inspector now believes that colonies in our state that suddenly are vacating hives in late summer or early autumn are Africanized. Seems interesting that the official position of the beekeeping industry insists that the Africanized bees are no further north than the southern most tier states. It may be time to embrace what we have and be thankful we have anything!!!

Bill,
I never thought about it, but that sounds like Africanized behavior. Interesting theory.
