African bee introduction in Sao Paulo leads to escapes in 1957
The report notes that African queen bees were released in Sao Paulo in 1956 to improve European stock. A visiting beekeeper removed double queen excluders, allowing 26 swarms led by African queens to escape in 1957. Attempts to dilute the African strain with Italian queens in 1963-64 failed, as many Italian queens were killed for low honey output, allowing African bees to survive and spread northward. The committee warned media not to overly alarm the public about Brazilian bees.
