Help!!! Anyone have Bee suit I can borrow? (food, vacation) - Charlotte - North Carolina (NC) - Page 2 - City-Data Forum

They scared the CRAP out of me at first when we moved here! I have found them to be extremely docile and not at all aggressive. I've literally had them run into me before on accident but they quickly fly away and seem not the least bit interested in stinging, swarming, or otherwise doing harm.

Lol, at least you have the sense to stop the car and get out. not too long ago a lady wrecked her car right in front of our house because of a bug. She was frantically swatting at it and ran her car into the light pole.

I honestly thought this was a thread asking for a good costume shop.

^Haha... I figured it was someone whose kid was in a school play or something and was looking to borrow a bee costume.

Get out the tennis racket...that is what I do.
You should see my bee-backhand.

Bees only scare me if they are the Africanized variety. I remember being told as a kid that we would all be dead from them by now.

Good news for you! There are no Africanized bees around this area!

What does Africanized mean? Does it mean that the bees have gone off to Africa for a vacation and have come back all Africanized - like wearing tribal costumes. I have never heard of the word.

I think the proper term is AA Bees...
