    ** The site I found (http://www.insecta-inspecta.com/bees/killer/) said that **

    · Africanized bees are slow fliers and most healthy people can out run them.

    · Run away in a straight line, protecting your face. Avoid other people, or they too will be attacked.

    · Do not try and hide underwater. The Africanized bee swarm will wait for you to surface.

    · Seek medical attention. Some people are allergic to bee stings causing anaphylactic shock. Since Africanized bees attack and sting in great numbers, it is possible that an allergic response may be triggered.

    (Killer bees are also known as Africanized bees)

    **Found it at http://www.insecta-inspecta.com/bees/killer/ **

    ** And this is what it said at http://phoenix.about.com/library/blbees2.htm **

    Quickly get into a house, car, tent or other enclosure. Close any doors or windows.

    Do not jump into the pool. The bees will wait until you surface for air to attack.

    If you are attacked by bees, run away. Don't play dead or swat at the bees. Most people can outrun the bees, but you might have to run a few blocks.

    Protect your face to prevent stings to the eyes, nose and in the mouth. Bees attack where carbon dioxide is expelled. Facial stings are much more dangerous than stings to the body. Pull your shirt over your head if no other protection is available.

    • Save for the discrepancy on the speed of the bees, we agree on all else.
