Title Confusion... "To Bee or Not to Bee...." Or "Not tonight Honey....." Bees Made Nervous by Jets SKOPJE (Reuters) - Macedonian honey producers said on Thursday that last year's NATO bombing campaign against Yugoslavia had made their bees nervous and aggressive and demanded compensation from the alliance. Mendi Trajkovski, secretary of the Nectar Association of 103 honey producers, told Reuters a claim of $222,300 in damages had been filed with a special NATO commission. He said documents and video footage had been filed along with the claim. Trajkovski said that overflights by NATO jets were ``a terrible stress'' for the bees who produced 70 percent less honey than usual as a result. ``They were also very nervous and extremely aggressive, biting not only owners but everything alive around,'' Trajkovski said. The NATO commission, contacted by telephone, said the complaint had been received and was being considered.
