Killer Bees

[Sue Grahl <sgrahl@flash.net>]

The info. bellow that Tara posted is correct. I received Killer Bee
Training when I was a Park Ranger Reserve. We were also told that  they
will usually only go 1/4 mile max before they end the pursuit. On a flat
trail and a fast horse you can out run them !
There have been attempts to cross breed the bees with less aggressive
bees that have failed. When new Queen Bees are born, the first Queen to
imerge becomes the Queen. The others are killed by the worker bees.This
means you need a Queen from another bee spieces. The problem is, when
other types of bees are placed in hives, the African Queens always
imerge first and become the new queen. Afraican Bees are extreemly
productive so they must establish new hive frequently. That's when they
are on the move.

If you are attacked cover your head and curl up on the ground.


     If you do this, you will be dead.   Period.

     I have been attacked by africanized bees and if you stop, they will
cover you and
     fill up every orifice they can reach.

     Run.  Run like hell.  If you're on horseback and have a clear shot,
whip your horse
     into the fastest gallop you can and get the hell away.  If your
horse won't go, leave
     it and run.

     We are talking life and death here.  I am 100% serious.

     Killer bees kill mostly those with allergic reactions, the elderly
and children.  The
     latter two because they cannot get away fast enough take the most
stings.  They also
     kill tethered and enclosed animals, dogs, cows and horses.

     I took eight stings in the back of my head in the thirty seconds it
took me to reach
     my house.  The rest of my body was covered in heavy clothing.  They
got the back of
     my head because I was running flat out.

     I cannot stress this enough.  Run.  Get indoors or into an
automobile, avoid water,
     trees or anything that could trip or slow you up.

     If you do not believe me, please, please call your local bee-club
or anyone selling
     honey in your area.

     All bees are attracted to strong sweet smells, dark colors, and
carbon dioxide.  So
     lying still will attract them to you.
