Hi!
I am a South African journalist currently researching bees for a magazine. I
would be grateful if anyone could supply me with data regarding the African bee
-- how verocious or aggressive it is, how it compares with its US and European
counterparts, how the man-in-the-street can treat bee stings, how dangerous can
a bee sting be, the average size of a swarm, is the African bee a killer? In
fact, I'd be grateful for any data on the African bee that you could provide me
with.
Many thanks.
Colin Mitchell
