African Bees Photo
Glenn Hall, an associate professor of entomology at the University of Florida's Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences, checks honeybees in Gainesville. He said the arrival of African bees in Florida is not unexpected and should not be viewed with undue alarm at this time. Hall, who is working with the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services and other government agencies to educate the public about African bees, said they may eventually spread throughout the state and move into other areas of the southeastern United States.
