Maybe I just miss read a bunch of this stuff but what do they mean..........
"Although the bees have been removed, officials are fearful that they may pose a threat to residents if they were indeed Africanized honey bees."

Because of AHB swarming methods they are worried there are more hives. The answer is of course yes. The problem is the fear is over rated.
