Follow the advance of Afro-Beetle in the "Killer Bee & Worm Journal" at:
http://beenet.com/bnews.htp
<BEENEWS SPECIAL> 8.7.98 AFRO-Beetles have been found in six state's and
looking. Damage in most cases is NOT expected to be great and control my be as
easy as moving to new locations,..often. Several controls includes both
chemical and biological. One includes a chemical now used for Fire Ants and
registration could be pending label changes. Some questions have not been
answered such as if damage is greater closer to the coast and the route this
pest used to get to an island off the coast of SC with heavy infestation to
bees there reported? The states are SC, FL, GA, OH, ND, and ME. *editor.
* Of course you may not have read about this in your local newspapers as its
from un-named sources close to the investigation and invasion.
