The U.S. Department of Agriculture confirmed that seven hives — three in the wild and four managed by private beekeepers — contained Africanized bees. The hives have since been destroyed.

ReplyDeleteThe honey from 'Killer Bee' hives is some of the best one can get.
You know that Stephanie & I are avid beekeepers.
If anyone reading this is attacked by a swarm of bees or thinks you are being attacked there is only one way to stop it.
RUN AWAY FROM THE SOURCE OF THE BEES THEY WILL NOT CHASE YOU MORE THAT 50 to 75 YARDS
The bees are merely protecting their home and hive, once you are away from the zone of danger they will leave you alone.
