Subsequent offspring will carry on the genetic traits of the new drone.”

The article reads like the queen goes out and mates whenever she wants.

First the media makes africanized bees to bee the boon of everything now we have a beekeeper that is doing the same thing. Trying to coin terms but lives in Michigan, where as of yet these bees haven’t even gone that far or close to it for that matter. I live in a state at risk for africanized bees and have yet to see any (albeit thankfully) and they do so much in this state to prevent it that it is almost ridiculous to be a bee keeper. It is counter productive to bee keeping to keep bringing up africanized bees as if they are an epidemic. This is why normal bees get killed off, because people assume the worst about bees due to this hype about africanized bees. Trust me the differences are huge. When you run across an actual africanized bee hive you WILL know it and you better run far and fast! They sting first and a lot and they don’t ask questions. Otherwise you’ve just got a pissed off hive.

Africa is a continent, not a country.

Yep! And the author agrees!
“Once upon a time, a strain of honey bees from the continent of Africa was known to swarm in dangerous numbers.”

Good article in layman’s terms.
