At his blog Max Planet, my son Max has a new post up titled, "Killer Bees: They're Among Us." How did killer bees get introduced to the Americas? What should you do if threatened or stung by a killer bee? What risks do they really pose?

Max has done quite a bit of research. Feel free to leave him a comment on killer bees.

And don't miss his very last link to a compelling video on the vulnerability of honey bees. It almost makes me wish for a tougher strain. One cross-bred, with, say, killer bees.
