genuinely curious: how will africanization help?
2 comments

Resistant to mites, they seem to have improved ability to forage, etc.

A lot of beekeepers have hybridized African bee hives. They can be more aggressive, so wear a suit and avoid irritating the hive too much and you’ll be fine.

Africanized bees are more hearty to mites and disease.
Are they also domesticated though?
No, and they can be pretty dangerous.
