Glad you eye is better. Ace, are you saying there is a difference in the northern bee you raised compared to these southern bees, relative to queen acceptance/supersedure? Do to different climates, flow etc? I believe you were in New York area and now Florida, talk about environmental change, well, you have experience it. From snow man to sand man, from winter cluster to year round foragers.
Elaborate for me, Ace, this is very interesting regarding the bees with aggression/calm behavior!!!!
