According to NBC News tonight, there's "little to stop" the "killer bees"
from moving northward. They quoted Paul Jackson of the Texas inspection
service saying they can survive in some cold weather.
On the bright side, they did show a beekeeper with European bees crawling
over his bare hands, in contrast to the intense aggressive behavior as shown
on clips of beekeepers handling "killer bees."
According to NBC News, the body count on people killed by the "killer
bees" is 7 since introduction in Brazil from Africa in 1957. A fairly
insignificant number to use to justify the phrase "killer bees" IMO.
