Bob and Peter
This is interesting conversation so far. But bees only bear
the label put on them by man and in Nature they are still
just yellow or black or ? colour bees. Yet, all bees sting
and all bees have hot sides and normal sides besides some
that need mollycoddeling like poodles.

So given a mask or just by reversing the names even, if say
AHB were just called by their regular name, would the
public even care. Or if say some northern strain were to be
called "killer" by the media and inspection personnel,
would it become one of dread overnight? especially if it
were involved with say a fatal stinging incident like we
hear of from time to time?

How much is public perspective in all of this for ongoing
concerns? compared to actuality?
