>>>>>Fox news reported the person in the wheel chair was trying to remove a
AHb 
swarm without protection and when stung turned his wheel chair over trying 
to fight the bees.<<<<

Of course the word "Swarm" has a specific meaning to beekeepers. Others may
use the word to describe a settled colony. I just wanted to note that an
actual AHB swarm is as gentle as any other for a week or two. When they get
some comb built they turn mean.
