Safely Removing Killer Bees
In 1995, while a man cleared brush with a chainsaw on his property in Texas, he was attacked by thousands of Killer Bees. The noise and vibration of the saw agitated the colony, and they sought him from nearly a quarter mile away. He endured over 500 stings, yet survived the attack. If you have honeybees and want them removed, call a professional. Do not take the chance in thinking that the honeybees are regular, since they might be Killer Bees.

What is a Killer Bee?
While it is a fact that Killer Bees are more aggressive and attack in greater numbers than regular honeybees, they also produce more honey. Some beekeepers introduce Killer Bee queens into their hives in order to produce better honey, in greater quantities.
