I have seen Quail pen for raising quail along with other type of pens for raising different types of animals and birds. I am working my way up to a question. Our friends in certain parts America and our friends south of us in the southern hemisphere, are plagued with Africanized bees. From what I understand, it is almost impossible to raise pure Italian or other type honeybees in these locations. Is this true? From what I understand and have read, the virgin queen's from these locations, which even are from bought queens from Italian decent, make their mating flight, almost always mate with africanized drones. Is this correct? Now the question; if a person in such a location, wished to raise the pure Italian bees, why would it not be possible to simply build a screened in mating flight pen which would not allow wild bees inside or inside bees to escape? If the pen was large enough, stocked with the proper drones, would this work for a virgin queen to make a confined mating flight? Thanks, Phillip Hall
