Big difference north to south I guess. No sign of extra aggressive bees up

Use great care around bees. Almost all bee colony's are now invaded with
Africanized bees, well known as "killer bees". They are VERY aggressive
when messed with, and quite aggressive when not messed with.
From personal experience I can tell you their stings are WAY more toxic
than "regular bees". I had a colony set up shop at the Ranch that was so
aggressive they pursued me for over a mile across the ranch before I got
away from them. Called in some pro bee guys and even with the big bee suits
THEY got stung a bunch.
