Abstract

Application of biotechnology to control Africanized honey bees may be possible by genetically engineering domestic honey bee stocks to be resistant to some agent which is toxic or debilitating to Africanized bees. The agent could then be made available to forages in an area, and susceptible wild colonies, including Africanized honey bees, would be controlled.
