Bee Guys
We had a swarm call last week, no big deal. As I pulled up the bees were buzzing around like normal, I ran down the street to get my bee suit, and when I got back the bees had literally attacked 3 baby squirrels. They covered them from the tip of their nose to their tail, you could not even see the small squirrels. Each squirrel had 50-100 stings, on their eyes, ears, nose, mouth, and body. I had to put the squirrels down and kill the swarm. I have dealt with bees for years, and had never seen this aggressive behavior in European Honey Bees. We are in Kansas City and have never had Africanized bees here, but a beekeeper friend of mine took some of the dead bees to the K-State Extension office, and they called KS dept. of Ag. to do a DNA test on them, and they seemed concerned also. For you southern guys what behavior differences do you notice? Sunflower Pest Solutions
