Now we know the three people to call to move bees in the future.

Last year had them on my front porch, cost was $450 to get them killed. They were the Africanized version. I was in the Middle East working when it happened.

Three years ago they decided that they needed to populate my back yard porch. Friend of mine was staying at the house while I was in Moscow working. They took after him and chased him into the house, with 10-15 of them getting inside with him. He got hit 8-10 times and the cat took the rest of the stings. Neither of them were real happy but he did not have to go to the hospital over it. This episode only cost $175 to get them taken out of the house.

I know where you guys are coming from and feel the same most of the time. That said these are not calm honey bees most of the time in our area, they are the Africanized versions that hunt you down and sting you. We are not in the Northern part of America, we are on the front lines of the tame honey bee takeover in this country. We need bees, but we do not need these Africanized versions of them.
