Testing Genetics for Aggressive Hive

[brian1...@gmail.com]

Hi - I have a very defensive/aggressive hive in Alameda that I'll have to requeen, but I am wondering what's the best way to get some genetic testing done. When I went to the UC Davis website it sends me to North Carolina for mitotesting and seems to be asking for five test minimum. What is the least complicated and least expensive way to see if my hive genetics has some Africanized genetics? 

I'm on the west end of Alameda and have had problems in the past with raising new queens that turn out to be very "hot." 

Thanks, Brian

Were they peaceful then turned agressive? Is it queenless? Is it honeybound especially with lots excess frames of pollen? Are the frames old with rubbery almost unusable comb? Has it been swarming and virgin queen has less Pheromone intensity so they respond as though they are queenless but will settle down within  a week?
