African bees have made it here and they have a much higher rate of reproduction and they are freezing out the native honeybees.

Any sign of aggression and the beekeeper will subject the queen to the hive tool test (smash and replace her). All bees in the hive carry the genetics of the queen. Fix her, fix the hive.

The media terrorism about africanized bees back in the 70's was just the 1970's version of a pitbull story.

Exactly.

Re-queen when needed.

If you are going to have an africanized hive, make sure to suite up for your hive inspections.
