[FRIAM] Kill it!

[Carl Tollander]

So, several avenues present.

Import (bee visa) Japanese bees to teach American bees.

Import (bee immigration) Japanese bees to supplant American bees.

Send American bees to Japan to study Japanese bee methods in context.

All this assumes some notion of bee culture transfer as opposed to
genetics...something recently about corvids teaching...if so, well....

Birds do it.
