Why would the bee removal man say they were Africanized? I can think of no good reason for concluding that. Hopefully he wasn't just playing on public fear and ignorance to sell his services or trying to make himself appear brave.
he was trying to justify the high price he was getting paid for the removal, removals are cheaper in the none AHB states, when they get to Ga. my price will go up also
If they were Africanized he did a lot to show that they are not the killer everyone thinks they are and that they can be worked, and if they weren't-dang good publicity-. Either way he got what he wanted-free advertisement- probably worth a couple thousand dollars.
I've been able to do a couple with no suit, it's a unique feeling, not panic or anything like that really hard to explain rather enjoyable, to be able to do it without full battle dress.
Africanized?!?! T-shirt with name/phone number. The guy didn't even have a bee vac - he was using a McDonald's cup to scoop up bees. Hope he wasn't charging by the hour!
