Carol Sutherland Quotations

Africanized bees don't roam in big swarms searching out victims.

Avoid areas where bees are foraging and avoid disturbing them, if possible. Learn to look and listen for bee activity wherever you happen to be. And if you find yourself in a situation where bees are numerous, noisy or acting strangely, escape to safety as quickly as you can. Run and don't stop until you reach safety, such as a building with doors and windows that close.

They're well established and will be in New Mexico for the foreseeable future.

Some expected these bees to be a major threat to agriculture and life in the Southwest. Others expected an initial surge of activity and then the problem would somehow go away. The truth in New Mexico is somewhere in between.
