I don't know about that, but from what I understand, they aren't that big a deal. That is to say, they are more aggressive than N.A. bees, and do the group defensive thing, but people as a rule tend to give bee hives a wide bearth in any case. So, while they may have the potential to kill, people aren't (so far) giving them an excuse to do so. -- "They thought to use and shame me but I win out by nature, because a true freak cannot be made.
