Some of you may not have been up to date on how fare the 'Killer Bees' have progressed since crossing the Mexican border 10 years ago. They rapidly moved northward and are now in Kentucky. I was attacked yesterday when clearing snow from the steps in the backyard. Yes, they've adapted to winter weather so well that they're active in very cold weather, too. Well, it's a good story. Actually, I've had to use a cream to my faced and neck to attack all sun damaged skin that could lead to skin cancer, and this is the result. I have to apply the cream every day for 3 weeks. This is the end of 2 weeks. My skin burns like I've got a sunburn. It's worse when I apply the cream and when I take a shower. I'll be glad when these next 2 weeks are gone.Monday, February 8, 2010
Killer Bees in Kentucky

Ouch Pop!!! I am glad you are taking care of the problem, but that does not look like fun at all. I hope you can clear it all up before prom!
You are applying the wrong cream. Try something called Regen. If your skin doesn't feel better in a half hour, I will be amazed. I was in a fire and burned my fingers badly and within a half hour the Regen took out the pain. They will even garantee it! Look at this:http://blog.oli-co.com/?p=561
I worked for Orkin located in Perry County Kentucky for seven years (the pesticides destroyed my health and I had to resign). I had my own LPCO License just for your info. In 1992 we got a call from a home in a community called Bulan in Perry County Kentucky. When I arrived the the occupants man and wife looked like they had the measles where they had been stung so many times. The bees had setup their nest in south eve of the house. I used a high pressure sprayer with immediate kill pesticide. After about thirty minutes they were all dead. There were thousands on the ground below the eve. I collected samples and returned to my office. I sent samples (bees) to Orkin in Louisville Kentucky. I then received orders to send some to the CDC in Atlanta. Both denied them being killer bees. But the CDC sent a form requesting information including landmarks, longitude and latitude of the event. I sent another sample to a University in Phoenix Arizona. I got a report back confirming that they were africanized bees. The home owners had been to Louisiana and had brought back a junk car on a trailer. I believe they hitched a ride to Kentucky via the junk car. I didn't kill all the bees. A lot got away from my lethal brew. So they are in my opinion all over eastern Kentucky, western Virginia and southwestern W.Va.
