There are people selling bees that should not be sold ... usually to people who are just starting out and it puts them off beekeeping. When it happens to someone who is a beefarmer it just highlights the risks involved. There is nothing worse in beekeeping than the sort of agressive bees you describe - apart from the dreadful task of killing the colonies. Not to mention the cost ...Two big lessons learnt, never buy bees unless checked over by an inspector first, and don't mess about with fiesty colonies, destruction is better than being sued.
