Re: RC: Deer Flies and now...Killer Bees

[Loribelle1@aol.com]

Hi Roberta - 

I live in Phx., AZ & have not encountered any killer bees, but definately 
keep my ears open.  Two years or so ago, the county (I think) hung up some 
traps to capture & test bees in the area.  I never did hear the result, but 
there are some attacks reported in various areas in the city.

Right now the mesquite & paloverde are blooming & you can hear bees 
everywhere.  I just hold my breath & ride through - so far so good.  I think 
my only option would be to try to outrun them as I know neither of my horses 
will hang around once the action starts.  Also have heard to pull your shirt 
over you head - this would go along with the naked hiker, only you have a 
topless woman who also can't see where she is going on a runaway horse.
