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.

All, do find internet videos on this.  There are several.  I think I sent them around some months ago, and couldn’t bring myself to spam again with them.

I sent them to friends with titles like “lesson in democracy”.

Japanese bees can do this.  American (naturalized European) bees cannot.  This all seems very depressing, in addition to its real damage.
