Living with the Africanized bee: Sinaloan beekeepers adapt pollination to Africanized bees

Abstract

Africanized honeybees have become well established in Sinaloa, Mexico, which has large-scale agriculture similar to California's. Beekeepers in Sinaloa have adapted their management practices to continue to provide pollination of crops. As Africanized bees become established in California, similar adjustments can probably maintain effective honeybee pollination of California crops.
