"Angry bees' attacks in neighborhood set off by beekeeper ... The terrifying incident comes months after scientists confirmed that Africanized killer bees had migrated from Southern California and were in the Bay Area, at the edge of Briones Regional Park. If DNA tests confirm that the insects are Africanized bees, the incident would be the first known attack in the Bay Area of the invasive species, whose ominous movements northward have been documented for decades."

Does anyone know whether AHB are now in fact "in the Bay Area"? How far north is this from their previous habitation, and is the Bay Area climate conducive to their overwintering?
Eugene MakovecMissouri USA - thankfully still a state away from Killer Bee attacks!
