In my new issue of AFB, in Jerry's classroom a beekeeper asked a question about africanized traits in a package purchased from a southwestern supplier. In his reply, Jerry states that if they purchased a package from the southwest, they may have some degree of afrikanization, and he ends his answer with CAVEAT EMPTOR (BUYER BEWARE) and my having purchased a couple of hives from a migrant keeper that had came from the almond groves (and was probably requeened by supercedure while there) , and they are so wild that I can hardly care for them properly, my question is how do they stay in the business of supplying queen and packages, if they are very possibly/probably contaminated by mating with african drones.
