BUY such a device?  A 20 foot piece of tubing to exhale through??  Just go
to a tropical fish store and buy one for $1.69 and try it.
        Yes, I have also heard that exhaled breathe aggitates bees.  Since
I don't have Africans, I don't know if the tube works.  Mine are perfectly
content to have me breathe on them.
