I just hope they don't put a stinger on their tail. if they are controlable, maybe they could design them so they would be attracted to and mate with the africans, and after a couple of bee generations we could control the africans. By the way, I just last week read a magazine artical about one of the biggest worries today, is that the smart robots they are working on may someday go rogue, and we would have no defense against them, and they would wipe out mankind (is the flesh eating bacteria/germ/infection the medical field is now encountering actually an industrial mini robot that has revolted?).
