Killer Bees
Yes, Africanized Honey Bees are the 'killer bees'.
If my incident had hit the press, that's how it would have been written
up. A local beekeeper, upon seing a dead sample of my bee swarm,
indicated that they were "just plain 'ol honeybees"
My take is that the press is generally accurate with regard to reporting
an"actuality" but not necessarily accurate with the detailed reporting
of "reality". For example, I would have no doubt that bees are giving
pilots problems by swarming on planes (an actuality) but plenty of doubt
regarding the type of bee, how frequently it happens, how widespread a
problem it is etc.
Or in the case of a plane crash - all you can reasonably rely on from a
press report of a plane crash is that a plane crashed.
Of course, I haven't even read the article so... and I'm not going to
see the movie.

You're welcome. The WSJ is saying that they are "Africanized Honey Bees."
I believe these are what are popularly referred to as "killer bees." The
article is entitled "Bees on a Plane are a Real-Life problem vexing some
pilots."
It is happening in the southwest.
