Hi there! Amateur lockpicker and member of TOOOL here! What should someone look for in a "pick-proof" lock?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but one of the big reasons that they're such an issue is because of that migratory trait, right? If they think that they can't defend the colony, they don't go down with ship - they get the queen out, and they migrate far away from the hive and start over, which is why they've spread so quickly from South America.

How big of a concern is the invasive Africanized honey bee species to commercial bee keepers, and is there anything done specifically by commercial bee keepers to prevent population spread of said invasive species?

My Latin teacher in high school was a bee keeper, as was one of my favorite professors in College, but they both did on a much smaller scale/as a hobby. What sort of automation tools do you use to be able to manage the large amounts of hives, bees, and honeycomb on a commercial scale?
