Those look like angry little bugs!

Peeps... you are comparing European bees with Africanised bees in Africa?
Not the same beastie.
I have the greatest respect for those guys, and those of you that moan about ONE sting, watch and wince.
They are likely taking hundreds at the least. If not thousands.

Well I watched all of that. And I watched all of the BBC documentary a few nights ago. And it amazes me how in a third world country where education/money are tight,
Combs all lovely and clean
Lots of staff for number of hives
Hives look all well maintained and all frames look clean
Not too rough on the bees
Compared to USA affluent educated - superpower
Combs so black they look like tar
24 (i think it was) different types of pesticide found in one bee
Frames look like the underside of a 50 year old school desk
Same staffing numbers for valley's of hives
Throwing the supers through the air to land on top of other supers
Bees just as excited
To my uneducated eye I know who I respect.
