AGGRESSIVE BEES ARE FORCING SOME WEST SIDE RESIDENTS TO STAY INDOORS. KOB-TV REPORTS THE BEES, FROM A BACKYARD BEEKEEPER, HAVE NEIGHBORS IN VENTANA RANCH ON EDGE.
ALBUQUERQUE BEE KEEPER SUSAN CLAIR SAYS IT APPEARS THE PROBLEM COULD BE AFRICANIZED BEES. SHE SAYS THE QUEEN BEE IS THE LIKELY SOURCE OF THE PROBLEM. CLAIR SAYS IF SHE’S PRODUCING THE AGGRESSIVE BEES, SHE NEEDS TO BE DESTROYED.
CLAIR STRESSES THAT THIS IS NOT HOW BEES NORMALLY BEHAVE. KOB-TV REPORTS THE MAN IS REMOVING THE BEES TO A RURAL AREA.
ALBUQUERQUE AND BERNALILLO COUNTY DON’T HAVE ANY RULES CONCERNING BEE-KEEPING.
