A foreclosed home in Florida has been invaded by bees:

“Yesterday my daughter was coming home from school, walking down the sidewalk over there and next thing you know she was surrounded by bees,” said Mellons.

He says the bees chased his daughter and a friend as the girls ran into their homes. He’s afraid the bees might be the aggressive, Africanized variety, the so-called “killer bees.”

Look on the bright side, Mr. Mellons — bees aren’t the worst things that could be moving into the foreclosed home next door.

Seriously, though, if these bees are more aggressive than the common domesticated honey bee, I understand Mr. Mellons’s concern. If they’re the domesticated kind, I hope they can save the swarm — there’s been a fairly major decline in those bees in recent years, if I recall correctly.
