I've never seen anything like this before.


I spent almost three years living and working for Deloitte & Touché in Australia, 1996 until late 1998.

I enjoyed my work and the citizenry of Oz, they liked Americans and were very kind to me. However, their marsupials, wombat, and Emus could sometimes be very annoying.

One summer day our little group were eating lunch in a local park in the outskirts of Canberra. A hungry Emu approached our table, and eventually stole a loaf of bread and platter of sandwiches.

I think I would much rather share my al fresco lunch with an Emu than the American northeastern yellow jackets. Nasty, aggressive, stingy and violently persistent. shudder... there is no escape as they will follow you. again, shudder.

True, they're very aggressive.
It was three or four summers ago, I noticed a hive loaded with angry, aggressive African bees.

Called our pest control guy, but he couldn't respond until two days later.

I use bleach for many purposes. I loaded my insecticide lawn hose sprayer with 4 parts bleach and 1 part water. The canister held about 1/2 gallon. Loaded for bees, I returned to about 10 feet away from their hive. Pointed the hose at their hive, and things began to pop. Bees were held off by the solution, started falling immediately upon contact. I was unharmed. The bees lost that day.

Pest control guy and I had a great laugh over it. He said, "You could have been killed." I laughed, that's what I heard in Nam. I spent five years in Nam, returned to the US without receiving the Purple Heart.

If the VC, Chinese Army, and their NoKo pals, along with a few Russkies couldn't take me out, crazed, angry bees couldn't either!

Ah, the plot for a popular B(ee) Movie.
