A cable tv show recently had an episode devoted to wild bee hive removal, and how dangerous it's gotten because of the African bees. The hives that have "gone African" still produce a lot of honey.
Animal Planet . . . Discovery Channel . . . . History Channel . . . truTV . . . or maybe even TLC or A&E
If you see it on, I recommend it, tho its informational transfer rate is typical of cable, not that high. You'll want to have a magazine while it's on.
The sad story in it was that of a man whose family members were attacked. He carried his granddaughter into the house -- she survived because of that -- but in so doing he left his wife to come in on her own. Grandma didn't make it, she was covered with bees when he came back for her, she died. I feel he did the right thing, and I bet Grandma would agree. But the man feels that he failed.
Quote:For a few years, the speculation I read related to killer bees coming up from South America (where they had been transplanted from Africa) but that does not seem to have paid off as a guess.Unfortunately, I can't remember what show it was... grr. Maybe a google is in order. The cable channels I watch that might have had it are:
Animal Planet . . . Discovery Channel . . . . History Channel . . . truTV . . . or maybe even TLC or A&E
