Killer bees, also known as Africanized Honey Bees were first identified in 2002. They are now well established in South Florida and several other areas of the state. While these bees are less predictable and a bit more dangerous than European bees, they don’t deserve the title “killer bees.” But for their own safety, Florida residents will need to gain an understanding of African honey bees.

African bees are known for being extremely protective of their nests. Killer bees are more easily provoked than European honeybees. They defend a larger area around their nest. Africanized bees swarm to the defense in much greater numbers, and they chase perceived intruders much greater distances. This combination of traits can easily surprise unwary people and animals with deadly results.

European bees have fuzz-covered bodies with black rings on their abdomen – just like killer bees. Although they are just a bit smaller, Africanized honey bees look identical to European bees. Even experts can’t tell the difference visually. There are only 2 ways to distinguish – take 25 different body measurements or do a genetic analysis. The best advice on avoiding African bees is to avoid all bees.

Thursday, April 17th, 2008

This is the time of the year when I would rather just laze around and not do anything. For some reasons, I just want to stay inside the house and wait for spring to come. Very soon; however, the snow and ice will leave us once again and the time to go outside and do outdoor work will come. Given this, it’s time that we start making our plans as early as now.

As early as now, we can decide as to which outdoor chores can be possibly done once the sun comes out again. We can also start thinking or eyeing professionals whom we can ask to take care of our homes.

Below are some outdoor tasks which may want to consider:
