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. Skylune wrote: 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. |
