Once inside, an active hive was discovered that appeared to be covered up with fresh foam.

Was that the whipped cream type or the kind you get from just frothing coffee?

A ping out to the Texas Ping list, founded by Windflier.

KIller! Bees! Hidden! by Homeowner!

Be careful if down by Brownsville-way.

Another special Texas winter edition for your perusal.

As always, please FReepmail me if you want on or off the Texas Ping list.

Blessings, and stay cool!

“Misclassified as aggressive”.

I actually remember that episode!...................

A blst from the past when SNL was actually funny.

Was the homeowner trying to cover up the hive? Good luck on that.

Seems he had a guilty conscience about something . . . maybe aware of hive and had done nothing?

“”Africanized Bee””

When do the protests begin - RACIST!!!!!!

[CommerceComet]

Devon Johnson of R9 Hive & Honey told the news station the bees were Africanized honey bees, which are oftentimes misclassified as aggressive, though like regular honey bees, they only get aggressive when threatened. She also said the bees have a three-day memory span, so if they get triggered by a lawn mower, they could get aggressive toward something else later.

So, in other words, they are aggressive.

Africanized Bee

Does that mean they act like a certain class that doesn't get the french fries they ordered at a McDonalds?

[moovova]

Oh man...two dogs locked in a fenced patio.

[EinNYC]

Poor doggies. Awww.

***The Africanized honey bee is also known as the killer bee, which is a cross-breed between the European honey bee and the African honey bee. ****

I remember, fifty years ago, a scientist saying that when the Africanized bees cross-breed with the European honey bee in their spread across the US, that the docile strains would be dominant.
It looks like the scientist was wrong. It appears the African honey bee attitude still rules the roost!

[Red Badger]

No problem!

We’ll just get some of those Murder Hornets from Asia to kill them all!........................

Devon Johnson of R9 Hive & Honey … said the bees have a three-day memory span, so if they get triggered by a lawn mower, they could get aggressive toward something else later.

That's very interesting. I've never heard of that, and I am interested in beekeeping.

I recently watched a video where a beekeeper had to euthanize an aggressive colony. The bees were well-nigh unmanageable.

... the bees have a three-day memory span

They are better than Biden.................

[Round Earther]

I do not doubt bees have a three day memory. There have been times that I have harvested honey or done a hive inspection and a couple days later a bee will buzz around my head but leave everyone else alone.
