Re: RC: Killer Bees

[Trishmare@aol.com]

Dear Katee,
    Not to worry.   Yellow jackets cannot mate with honey bees . . . and 
"killer bees" are a type of honey bee.  Yellow jackets, although they look 
like bees, are more closely related to wasps.
    Of course, you could always move to Michigan, where the winters keep the 
killer bees at bay . . .<g> (don't do much for the ride season, either, 
though . . .!)

 Oh, God, what if Meat Bees mate with Killer Bees??????????
