 Can killer bees hurt you?

We hear of African killer bees killing people and animals, but what is the reality here? Are they that dangerous for humans and animals? For those of us who live in the southern states where the African bee has established its dominance in recent years, how to deal with a bee infestation can be an emotional dilemma, especially for those with allergies. or those of us who are sensitive to the planet's ecological problems, including the drastic and terrible death of the honey bee called Colony Collapse Disorder.

Killer bees

I believe I can speak with authority about the issues affecting the African bee personality and its potential for harm from the removal of myriad hives of all sizes and temperaments.

In a time of disappearing beehives and apocalyptic fears that bees won't pollinate our food, why the hell would it kill a perfectly good beehive? Other colonies are "hybridized" like our normal bees, but they show an aggressive character, but still not that bad. It means that I can't take off my costume while working with them. And of course, you have some very aggressive bees that will sting you and chasing you down the street all day. The Department of Agriculture in most states has the same guidelines, takes no chances, and kills all wild beehives. When you see how irritable these aggressive hives can be, you can understand how they came to this decision, but this general approach to the problem is a bit similar to the nuclear option. The logic for trying to save all bee colonies regardless of the exposure is clear when you weigh the facts. First, the African bee was introduced to Brazil in the 1950s. AHBs are a tropical bee that crossed with the European bee to bring some of the best properties of AHB to tropical regions. And let's talk about these properties. The African bee collects ten times more nectar than its Italian cousin. It's more disease resistant, makes a home anywhere, and yes, it's more defensive. The right defense mechanism makes AHB famous. While the garden bee will use hundreds of bees to defend its hive, the AHB will send thousands. Okay, that's bad, isn't it? In nature, a good defense mechanism is a means of survival.

When a bee colony swarms, it cultivates another queen who takes half of the workers in the beehive and looks for a new place to live. But before it leaves the hive, it will make a mating flight. When she flies, the beehive drones fly after her and follow her scent. When they reach it, they mate in mid-air, but in the wild, there are around 300 wild beehives per square mile and 70 percent of them are likely Africanized. The African drone is faster and does the feat long before others arrive. The freshly bred queen returns to the beehive and has the new AHB variety in her. Kill all the beehives you want. The point is, you will never hurt the population and everyone should get used to it better. Maybe it is better to kiss the African bee. Nicaraguans catch AHB and beehives. Create giant beehives that can produce up to 50 pounds of honey per beehive in just 17 days. It's incredible! I have never heard of anyone who died after working with AHB. They sell every drop of AFB honey to Europeans who line up to buy it. This is a good thing and it deserves our consideration.

Ultimately, even old-fashioned honeybees are a transplant, an immigrant, and a newcomer to the Americas, and although their history and rearing by human civilization stretch back in time, the domestication of wild animals is the thing. Since all dogs are related to wolves and coyotes, the bee is also subject to its metamorphosis in its relationship with the human species.

Sometimes we removed beehives that other companies said were "killer bees" that were soft as pigeons. It is wrong! It's a shame and only the savvy customer will see through the hype and call a moving company lives, customers who care about the planet. If you are allergic you have to be careful no matter what. If not, you should seek full advice before killing these bees. And a living bee removal technician can tell you all about your bees.
