Default Killer bees!

.... I can relate to your last paragraph. Yesterday was the most glorious
day - I live near Cannock Chase and went for a long walk, in just my tshirt
(..... and other clothes as well, of course ... !!... ;-) )

But today it's cold, and I'm putting off getting out in the garden until it
warms up again. I hope we have a nice weekend ... loads to do!

I think this group is cool!

Seriously, how do you know they are killer bees?


The person is an obvious troll; probably the same character that
periodically posts "I found an unexploded bomb in my garden; what should I
do?"

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.
