I've recently read that drones from mild bees which mate with Africanized Queens modify the agressive response...Now, if I could find someone in the south who would recieve my drones.... P.S.

Hawaiian beekeres report CCD began shortly after the introduction of GMO crops to the Islands. EU beekeepers sent US beekeepers warnings about GMO crops and CDD several years ago. Commercial beekeepers feed pollinating bees High Fructose Corn syrup, poison their hives with human killing mitacides and george bush's new definition of "organic " allows for new pesticides that are lethal to honey bees and which are placed in fields at the same time to fight other "pests". Integrated Pest Management eliminated all my bees' problems except for excessively dry weather. Dear Correspondents:

Once the elimination of the Africanized threat is removed we can revive the european beekeeping trade in the south. We need to destroy the hives africanized be with Cape bees.
