More Killer Bee Sitings

Deseret News Let's bee sensible: "Earlier this year, state agriculture officials announced that Africanized honeybee hives had been found in Washington and Kane counties. The so-called killer bees were discovered recently in a Cedar City home, which means they are inching their way north. Experts say the bees apparently were able to survive conditions at 5,840 feet altitude because they had spent the winter in an insulated attic. They were exterminated and removed without incident on Wednesday."
