Thanks for all the comments and contacts sent to me, some I forwarded to my
daughter.
(This was a while back-she is working with "abejas africanas" in Paraguay)
So far, she says my bees are as mean or meaner than the ones she has
worked(At least in 55 deg weather here-different story in summertime when we
often work w/o veils)
She is ,however, aware that she will eventually hit some hot ones, as she is
working with another Peace Corp volunteer- Dan-who has extensive experience
with these bees and is well aware that they are able to kill and counsels
caution in her activities.
One thing that I wanted to say is what Dan told me about these bees:
They work at night!
Now I have never heard of that one.
Isnt that wild and wonderful?!!
I hope to observe them doing this when I travel to her site in Febrero.
What a marvelously wonderful little creature we have in the honeybee!
