I remember Yellow Jackets from Virginia, I think they live in the ground. Evil dispositions. Kill them all.

I like bumblebees. They're loners, and big enough not to sneak up on you. I used to appreciate honeybees, too, but now with the Killers moving into So Cal I give them all a lot of room.

We had a gal from Vector Control come out to our office last winter and tell us about the Africanized bees. The only visible difference is that the Killer Bees have smaller wings, something that you can't see with the naked eye. And they aren't aggressive when they are swarming. It's when you get close to an established hive that you are in big trouble... "close to" meaning whatever the bees think it should mean. And these bees will build hives in unlikely spots. They like underground utility boxes. They like log piles. They like crawl spaces and the walls of houses. What they don't like is you. And the only proper way to react to them is to flee as fast as you can.
