The USDA has just released a
map that shows year by year spread of
Africanized bees. The first
Africanized bees arrived in south Texas in 1990. With the
AHB in central Oklahoma now - as I sit here in northeast Kansas - I figure we have another 10 to 15 years before they arrive, ready to sting us with extreme prejudice when disturbed. This
ARS effort didn't go in great detail about the
ag impact from the
AHB, but it appears the entire honeybee industry has numerous challenges, as noted in a previous
post.
