WEST PALM BEACH -- As if hurricanes, roaches, sea lice and insurance bills weren't bad enough, Floridians can add a new menace to their list of worries. Killer bees are here.

And they're going to change your life. After decades of hype and cheesy disaster movies, Africanized honeybees have established a foothold in Florida, bringing a hair-trigger temper that makes them a threat to farmworkers, landscapers, meter readers, firefighters and basically everyone who ventures outdoors.

Shut-ins FTW!

Once angered, the Africanized bees stay agitated for as long as 24 hours, posing a continuing hazard, Barnes said.

In September, a swarm of Africanized bees trapped three residents in their Miami Gardens home and attacked several firefighters, three dogs and two television journalists after someone tried to move the log where the bees were living, The Miami Herald reported at the time. One dog died.

Near LaBelle in Hendry County, Imogene Risner said her niece was washing a horse near their home last year when a cloud of bees attacked, besieging the animal's head and face. The horse died that night after suffering about 2,000 stings, she said.

AFRICANIZED - FEAR THE BLACK MAN!

Americans - please make sure you are terrified at all costs. If you aren't terrified then the terrorists win... oh wait...

One of the worst things to hit salmon farming.

Another reason to not buy farmed salmon.

Tell me about it.

Why do people keep moving to this godforsaken state?

I can't wait till I have my masters and get out of this hellhole.

TekunoRobby · Jan 30, 2006

Miami ain't too bad if you want to live the night life or if you're rich. Key West is actually really nice for those who are ocean-obsessed. I can't imagine what a flaming shit fest everything above South Florida is however.

demi · Jan 30, 2006

South Beach is a scary place.

Fuck, I never feared for my life that much...

Great - then they'll cross breed with the native bees and the next thing you know it will be "Bzzzzz bzzz bzzzzzz African-American Bee History in Schoolzzzzzz. . ." :ROLLEYES:

Vormund · Jan 30, 2006

Wow Florida sounds like more of a hell hole than it already is.

They should nuke it.

Hellraizah · Jan 30, 2006

Bee Prepared

As the number of Africanized bee colonies increases in an area, so, too, does the likelihood of human and animal encounters with them. Serious human injury can be avoided if the habits of Africanized bees are learned and precautions taken.

* Wear light-colored clothing. Bees tend to attack dark things. Dark clothing, dark hair, any thing dark in color could draw the animus of AHB.

So, what are your chances of surviving if you are black ?

"African" "racist" bees ?

DarienA · Jan 30, 2006

I was gonna say just lure them to a stadium... but somebody already beat me to it.

Hmm wait maybe that was The Swarm....

Hey now, dont be spreadin that crap down here, we got enough problems here in Dade and Broward believe me

Jonk · Jan 30, 2006

Yeah, lets point out the BAD parts of a state and say nuke the whole thing. What a bunch of ignorant holes.

South Beach is ONE F'ing scarry place I will admit to that because I was just visiting there last week. Florida is a crossroads of A TON of different cultures that is why there is a good number pf crappenings going on. If your state was in the same geography the same would happen. I could point of trash holes in each one of your states saying its nuke worthy.

Most of the crap that happens in Florida is on the southern half anyways. SO if you are gonna bash the state or nuke it or chop it off and float it over to cuba, get the right part of the state.

Everytime something stupid happens you all rush to post "Only in Florida!"

Now tell me, where's the party at?

But it sounds so much cooler than Africanized honeybees.

Plus I'm tired of Africans getting blamed for everything!

Brazil's fault, if they kept the Africans locked up, none of this would have happened.
