We were sent this image by someone in Riverside in southern California.
It’s a brochure produced by their local vector control district that
declares bees to be “disease carrying pests”! Obviously, it is referring to
Africanized honey bees, which can be a hazard to people, but it is
remarkable how bees can be so misrepresented.
