Yes JP that is my savannah Icky Tick Tavvi, i just call him Icky, though. I raise tropical roaches for reptile food(also for a living) and I have about 20 lizards and 40 or so snakes. As far as AHB goes, I was at the mouth of the hive, less then 1/4 mile away a guys hive swarmed (last summer) and there were kids yelling and screaming ( sledding) right by the hive the day it is found. Also it seems (from listening to the tree trunk) that there are a quite a bit of bees in there. From what I have been told the AHB dont usually show up here until spring( i am in NE Arizona, we get full winters snow and all). I will be suited though and if the place i have to put the hive is fairly remote, so if they are AHB i will simply requeen them. thanks for the advice and if anyone has more feel free. I am always open to information :-D
