Hi All
 
The question of african bees south of the US border was asked.
 
Check out Andy's pages http://beenet.com
 
He has a great article written by one of the guys who promoted the
killer bee myth. (eg describes how this guy visited researchers who
kept 'killer bees' along their front garden path where veryone walked
and so on)
 
The big down side of the African killer bee, is that it
unfortuneately for african beekeepers came from africa and invaded
the US. Hence people made very stupid movies about the bees, which
eventually found their ways to our shores.
 
Now, Joe Bloggs/Sipho Dlamini who sees a beehive thinks they are
killer bees - whereas previously they would just have stayed two
meters away from them.
 
So the question is not, how are the people doing south where the AHB
are, the question is how have beekeepers in the world been affected
by the media fallout from the overhyped world press - by far the most
dangerous and blind to reason army in the world.
 
Keep well

After careful consideration, I have decided that if I am ever a V.I.P
the I. may not stand for important.
