This AHB surely has a bad rap. It is kind of a sorrowful thing actually. Too bad that they are so darn protective of their colony, to the detriment of any human (or animal) that happens to get into their territory. Gives the European honeybee a really bad rap. Too bad when they find a big nest, that it could not be determined which species of honeybee they are before their destroy life. Great day. Cindi
