Okay, Mike, now let's throw another thing to think about
into the puzzle that you may/might have to deal
with.....and all should consider also.........once
so-called AHBs confirmed in your areas.

Over the counter medications, that make people suceptible
to bee stings and over reactions at that....not that this
hasn't been documented with various painkillers and being
stung within hours of taking same........so that even one
sting or two can be then serious........

So killer bees due to Advil? or tylenol? other??

Something to consider.......
