^ oh dear. " were going to...". Sorry. It's late. Oh yeah, and the media liked to call them "Africanized". Cute how they do that isn't it?

Africanized honey bees (AHB) are in Texas and the Southwest, California and the Pacific Northwest. I read that 90% of wild bee colonies in Arizona are AHB.

Oh, how darling! Aren't they just adorable? What sweet bees.

They are here in AZ and have been for a long time. No, they aren't killing playgrounds full of schoolchildren, but every so often they kill livestock/pets, and every once in a blue moon they kill an old person who disturbs a hive and can't outrun them.

Didn't they get a lot of the aggression bred out of them by mixing with regular honey bees? Even at the time of the hysteria, people were making jokes that the story was overblown.

Remember the bee sketches on SNL?
