Some of our nurseries started covering up back on Friday.
It's the nursery industry that is really flourishing on the Treasure Coast. I'm starting to see more and more wholesale nurseries come up this way.
What makes them probably a little bit more dangerous is that they release an alarm pheromone after they sting, which signals other bees to come and attack. Where European bees might come in and sting one time, Africanized bees could probably sting 10 times.
They'll just hover over you, waiting for you to get out.
It's like red ants: If you're out in the field, out in the yard, you just have to be alert to that. With proper knowledge, people can avoid attacks.
