some really ridiculous pieces of supposed information on AHB found 
on the web.  I had a good laugh.

http://www.insecta-inspecta.com/bees/killer/

here's a sampling of some of the mis-information being passed 
around on this  website. 

 "Africanized bees are slow fliers and most healthy people can out run 
them"

"European honey bee sperm is inserted into a Africanized bee queen. 
The queen is then released into the wild. Scientists are hoping the 
injected Killer Bee queen will produce less aggressive bees and pass 
the gene to the offspring"

"If you are in the path of a swarm of Africanized Bees, you have a 
seventy-five percent chance of a deadly attack."

Yep its not the AHB's  we need to fear...............
