[Pollinator] Northern range expansion of Africanized bees in U.S.

[Kimberly Winter]

Although it uses sensationalized language, this article demonstrates the 
increasing challenge that we in NAPPC will face in educating the public 
about the benefits of bees.  The descriptions of Africanized bee behavior 
(see last part of article) may be useful.

It's unfortunate that Africanized bees' behavior undermines our efforts to 
promote pollinator conservation, but here's our chance to draw attention to 
the benefits of "good bees" for agriculture and ecosystem integrity.

Thank you for spreading the "good word" about pollinators!
