    I don't know anybody that has hauled any africanized bees though. I am not sure a guy would ever get them loaded and if he did, would it be legal to transport them?

    Well, at some point nature or man got them into the southern USA. And they spread because they are soldier bees taking over and dominating the local bees. Unfortunately they may even rape.. er mate enough to make generations.. those are the mean ones in my book.

    If they were to pass a law, it will be a mother or queen of inspections to go through each of say 5 million inhabitants of a hive trailer hunting for violations in form of africanized bees individually.

    I leave you with two more thoughts.

    First.

    We are losing bees.

    Second, if something is not corrected and we lose all or enough bees the crops and nature will fail. And thus we will be hungry to a fault as a nation.

    Likewise, I have never heard of anybody having a hive of africanized bees, they may start mating honey bees, and moving in to the hives, but I don't know about it if they have. I will admit I have not kept up with what has gone on with them the last few years.

    If they are busu doing their own thing, and you do not threaten they do not mind as much. When they are loaded, or in holding, yard with n koi t alot to do is when i noticed them to be easily aggrivated. If they are getting honey, that time of season ... they were too busy to deal with ya.. good honey flow for the bees

    Good thing about hauling bees is, I bet they don’t hassle you at the scales.

    Correct, usually. They did a full blown inspection on a friend of mine at Tehachapi, he could not believe it. lol
