My June In Touch With Nature post features African honeybees, and their relatives Africanized honeybees, also known as African killer bees. Thanks to Kaye Lynne Booth for hosting.

I’ll head over to read your post soon, Robbie. 🙂 We have the grandkids most of the time in the summer except a few days here and there. I can hardly keep up with my chores and errands, but we enjoy our time with them. 😊

Your vivid post, Robbie, spotlights how scary those bees are. Also scary is what humans are doing to the Earth.

Yes, it’s a bit like The Day of the Triffids. Mankind should learn not to mess with nature.

Hi John, I’m glad you enjoyed this post and the poems. I like this 99 syllable style as it allows for a story, beginning, middle and ending. You don’t have these bees but you have loads of other dangerous little critters.

Robbie – this was a brilliant article on African killer bees – something that I have never read about before. Your poem captures the action in clear detail.
“Prepped for occupation
The bees move in fast
Much to the chagrin of the resident dogs
Who attempt to drive off
The enemy force”
I had goosebumps reading your poem.

Hi Rebecca, I can clearly remember the attack on our dogs. A black cloud of angry bees. They only survived because they jumped in the swimming pool. Its incredible how these bees adapted to the Americas.

Hi Tim, I’m glad you find these posts interesting. These bees seem to be causing problems in the USA, perhaps because ferocious bees are a new phenomenon.
