Thinking here of the way that a new alpha in a pack will kill (or drive away at least)
the offspring of the old alpha, would a new queen in a colony do the same?

If not, surely the already laid eggs are incapable of being "deafricanized" and so
the problem will continue unless the colony is destroyed?

Or am I misunderstanding the idea of "Africanized"? Is it a behavioural (= learned)
term rather than a species as such?



I don't raise bees and know little about them compared to a bee-keeper so was
surprised by the suggestion that there would be a solution that didn't involved
extermination of the colony of invaders ... but am willing to learn!




(Edited for typo ... "beek-keeper"? Honestly ... )
