Welcome to my pond - Swim, wade, or sit on the bank

I just watched the first episode of the new show 'The Good Doctor'... very interesting, can't wait to see more...

Don't watch much TV, but gave this a look - not bad. Tonight "This is Us" returns. I really like that show.

Good morning, Pond Skippers and Scum Sloggers.

Africanized bees or Killer bees are an experiment that went horribly wrong... Down in Brazil... They wanted to breed a superior bee and crossed domesticated honey bees with African Bees... Combining traits.

Only problem was in the supposedly controlled process they were supposed to keep queen guards on the hive to prevent queens from escaping... Well mistakes were made...

So it took them a while to adapt to new climate zones but they maed it up to Texas and finally to California...

They started in Brazil in 1950s in 1957 26 swarms escaped....
they made it to the US by 1985

They have killed over a hundred people.... as well as horses and other livestock.

There are several articles on the internet some very scientific...

I've watched a documentary or two about them. Was hoping they would be eradicated by now. . .of course it is probably impossible to eliminate them all. Stupid people and their stupid ideas!! As if we didn't have enough things to worry about in the world that can kill us.

I don't think I'm going to go. Is that terrible of me? I'm not a fan of crowds and I know it will packed in there. I. Don't know the family personally and it is just so freaking sad. .

Yeah, I'm not good with things like that either. They won't be calling attendance, and prayers and thoughts for the family can be offered from anywhere - not just at the funeral.
