I, for one would like to know where the PETA folks
are when they are needed!  :)

Throwing rocks at cute furry little insects
is not only mean, it is downright twisted.

Given that the area was not outside the range of
AHB, it was also downright suicidal.

While the colony MIGHT have been hived and moved
away, the number of people stung proved that the
colony was not just hot, but thermonuclear.
I would have exterminated it without a second
thought.

We beekeepers have little to worry about if people
can read past the scaremongering "Attack" headlines.
It is no big surprise that animals turn nasty when
they are poked with sticks or pelted with stones.

I used to read the book "Never Tease A Weasel" to my sons
and children of friends. It contains timeless wisdom:

     "Never tease a weasel;
     don't make me tell you twice!
     The weasel will not like it,
     and teasing isn't nice!"
