How do AHB take over EHB hives?
It was hoped the much greater numbers of the European honey bee would swamp out the Africanized honey bee as they naturally cross-bred. The problem has turned out to be that the Africanized honey bee queen has a very slightly shorter pupation period than the European honey bee queen, so she tends to emerge first. A newly-emerged queen will try to kill all the other developing queens before they emerge. This slight imbalance means the Africanized bee has a slight advantage and this is why hives can become Africanized as the queens are replaced.
