Totally cool! He must have had some rush from that find.
I might look up his mead.
Thanks so much for sharing this :)

“Everyone got out alive and we have a lot of honey to process and mead to be made.”

So has anyone tried killer mead?

There is a corollary to dangerous women.

“Within three hours, all three hives had been cleared and boxed.”

What did I miss? Are the bees killed? Or are they released somewhere else?

If indeed they are African “killer bees” one has to be very careful. They tend to swarm and attack much more than native bees or the “Italian” bees used by most beekeepers.

Have a friend, whose father in Brazil is an amateur beekeeper - keeping African bees. The next-door neighbor’s stud bull wandered close to his hives - and was swarmed and stung to death. Now they are arguing over compensation!

What happens to the bees?

Do they kill them off? Let them swarm away and infest someone else?

Some years ago I owned a house that had on the property a huge, old tree. Sometime in the past it had developed a huge hole deep into the truck. Honey bees had found it and built an enormous hive. They were very aggressive. Sometimes when I mowed the lawn a regiment would come flying out and chase me across the yard, stinging. Got really bad — couldn’t use the yard. One winter I cemented the hole/hive with about 50 pounds of cement. Even in the cold, some sentries came out to check on me but they could hardly move. Tree surgeon estimated that there was several hundred pounds of honey in the tree but no way to get to it.

Released somewhere else.

Taken somewhere else

What a piss-poorly written article.

1. Where does this article originate from?

2. The article stated: “This could be a deadly situation,” Booth told Smyth, who nodded solemnly in agreement. “It’s an infestation.” What happened to the killer bees after the honey was taken?

3. Was anything done to stop the infestation?

Contact Reed Booth, the Killer Bee Guy. I know no more.

Not to mention it’s coffee klatsch. A CLOCHE is a hat.
