Bad rap? Maybe... but 'killer' bees are here

Aggressive honeybees have arrived in Osceola County, furthering their advance across Florida and prompting beekeepers to worry that a panicky public will start indiscriminately killing bees.

Without bees most of our agriculture is dead! Fruits and vegetables depend on bees to pollinate them. The disappearing bee syndrome is very, very serious. "Killer" bees may be necessary to save our agriculture. People have to be careful around animals and insects. That's nature. People are dumb to think they can go anywhere and do anything and be safe from nature! Be responsible and aware of your surroundings.

There is a free swarm available to anyone who wants it. Email Macha02012@Yahoo.com. I haven't been able to find a beekeeper anywhere who wants it. You'd think with all the European bees dying off I'd be able to find a home for this swarm.

1/3 of the planet's population depends on bees for crop pollination.

ARE YOU KIDDING ME, GET RID OF THESE KILLERS! "FEWER THAN 20 PEOPLE WERE KILLED", LIKE THAT'S OK! FIND EM AND KILL EM, I HAVE NO SYMPATHY FOR KILLER BEE'S, I HAVE SYMPATHY FOR THE FAMILIES OF PEOPLE THEY HAVE KILLED. THANK YOU SCIENTISTS FOR INTRODUCING THESE KILLERS ON NORTH AND SOUTH AMERICA.

You think beekeepers should be GRATEFUL to have your bees? Bee retrieval is work. "Free swarm" is not doing anyone a favor. You dont work for free do you? There is time, expertise, and danger involved. Quit being a cheapskate and call a professional.
