@GoingOrganic1 lol. If you want them, they are all yours. I work on my car right by a tree they seem to enjoy flying around. They are cool to watch, but I still wonder when I'm going to accidentally piss one off and get a sting I'm not soon to forget. :)
@americansmark I read recently that the bumble bees seem to have an immunity to the colony collapse disorder. Honey bees are the ones that are really being lost in large quantities. So hang on to the bumble bees. We need them.
@GoingOrganic1 Definitely not here. My barns are filled with them. I can hear them buzzing from about 50 yards away. I am scared stiff by bees, but the bumble bees don't bother me. I walk right in there and they buzz around and let me by. Its kind of cool. 18 years here and not stung once by one.
They are all over Delaware for some reason I sometimes find them laying on the ground sometimes still living I don't know if that is a disorder or not though.

@Delphi333 Thanks, but the bees I ran into were bumble bees. Idenitcal to the ones in the video. Africanized honey bees look just like their European cousins, but are much more aggressive. According to our state beekeeping club, there has been no reported incidence of any Africanized bees here in Alabama. Also many people call carpenter bees bumble bees. Carpenter bees are much larger, solitary and are very gentle yet territorial.
Cool!

Honey bee hives are dying off across the country. If you have bumble bees, keep them.
