The person is an obvious troll; probably the same character that

Short of DNA testing, you can't tell; the Africanized honeybee is a cross
between the friendly Italians and some unpleasant Africans. And last I
heard, not at all cold-hardy, so not an issue in Northern U.S. or the U.K.

But I can't do much outdoors yet, so this is a nice diversion. I was going
to stake out my pop-up greenhouse, but the wind is coming up and maybe I'll
wait, so as not to do my Mary Poppins impression.
