Wreckus posted:What do you do if your bees become Africanized? I'm curious about this too. I just found the other beekeeping thread last week and have been pondering a hive. But I live in an area under a lot of threat from africanized bees. In fact, I stumbled upon a documentary on africanized bees that takes place where I live.

Update on the whole Africanization Issue: I went down to a local bee supply store and they were quite helpful. From what I gather, the key is to watch for your queen going missing or drones laying eggs. If your queen is replaced by an Africanized one, then you could keep them; they just become more grumpy. If you live in the city, it is probably better just to trash the hive and start over.
