  1. We have the dreaded 'Killer' (Africanized) bees now around San Diego. They kept telling us they were coming and now they are here. So I do "stand well back" when seeing a bee -- and hornets or wasps!

  2. "Killer" bees would scare the crap out of me. hornets on the other hand are actually quite cuddly.
