Heck, that’s nothing. Here’s something Adrian Wenner posted a couple of
years ago from a newspaper article on AHB:

In the meantime, items appeared in the several weekly papers, with
various degrees of misinformation.  One letter included the claim,
"If you were to breach the perimeter of a hive's territory, you would
first encounter the guard drones."  Another weekly paper had a color
photo on the front page that included a debris laden dead worker bee
missing all but one hind wing and most of its legs.
