You find yourself in a large open field maybe mowing the lawn or simply walking back to your house when suddenly, you stumble upon a bee hive.

I am a bee keeper and bees don’t act that way unless you disturb their nest - as in kick it over or break it up. Besides that they mind their own business – even so called “killer” bees.
Now if you did get them after you because you were being a dumbass and poking their nest with a stick - then your best bet is to run in a 90 degree zig-zag motion and keep running till you find something to get in (house, car, etc.).
I know they are africanized bees because we had a city exterminator come to my house twice already. The guy got attacked really fast as soon as he approached them even with his protective suit. He got stung 3 times in the head. It was his guesstimate that there were around 3 to 4,000 bees. We have a small house behind my house used for storing the lawn mower and what not, and they were living underneath since the little house is not sitting on the ground.
Anyway, they are still there since we have not been able to remove the bee hive. [/quote]
Dude if you piss them off they’ll just surround your entire house. I saw that on Deadly Invasion: The Killer Bee Nightmare

So are you saying they are going to hold me hostage on my own house? And I thought Hurricane Dolly was going to flush them away, but they are still there.
I need E.Ermine to go evaluate the situation. Does anyone know where I can find him/her?

You know what? If you’re not going to take the time to educatate yourself by watching Deadly Invasion: The Killer Bee Nightmare, then don’t expect any sympathy from me when you’re held hostage and don’t know how to escape.
Funnny thing about this tread is that, scientists believe the ferrell bee population will be extinct within 5-10 years at the current rate that bees are dying off. It is due to a particular type of bacteria and a mite the lays its eggs in bees necks. It could be some real shit if they die off completely.

Colony Collapse Disorder.
I haven’t seen one honey bee this summer. They’re all bumblebees.
When I was a kid I remember seeing more honeybees than bumblebees.

It’s been like that for a couple of years where I live. I remember seeing them all summer. Especially at the fair around the cotton candy dispenser. I haven’t seen not a one all summer, for a couple summers now.
