She's relatively new to the Untied States. In fact, she just got to Texas in 1990. She likes to travel though and she arrived in Arizona in 1993. Abby is an Africanized honey bee, so she and I are pretty closely related. We look so much alike that people can't tell the difference between us just by looking.
Special tests have to be made to tell for sure.
I won't have any trouble recognizing Abby. That's what I go by. I use her attitude as a way to tell if I've come upon Abby's family or a family of my kind of honey bees. Abby doesn't care very much about where she lives. Just about any place protected from the wind, rain, and cold will do.
