Highly aggressive African bees can be found pretty much anywhere in the USA where it doesn’t snow.
*************
And replacing the Africanized Queen with a regular European Queen will calm down the hive significantly after about six or seven weeks.

Only the queen lays eggs. The life span for a worker bee is about 6 weeks.

The only problem is if a newly hatched European Queen in impregnated by an Africanized Drone.

Thanks Yulee. I saw the movie and had beehives for a short two years. My best pets ever. I loved watching their hard sloppy landings by the bee hive entryway when they were full burdened down with pollen. Honey bees are amazing.
A lawnmower and any kind of small engine can set off a legitimate beehive. Not just the Africanized ones.
