Amazingly enough, it is the unseasonably hot weather and dry conditions that have permeated the City by the Bay that is bringing in killer bees in greater numbers than tourists.
The San Francisco Chronicle reports the bees have been spotted in Lafayette near Briones Regional Park by UC San Diego researchers who have been tracking their movement in the state. The bees had previously only been observed as far north as Mariposa County.
It is not clear how many of the bees have moved into the area, but researchers say there is likely more than one colony.

The Africanized honeybee is a hybrid of the European bee and the African bee. The hybrids are known for their aggression toward perceived threats to their hives. They will swarm by the hundreds to sting and harm any animal or human who get on the wrong side of their temperament.
Researchers say the bees may have traveled farther north because of recent warmer weather conditions.
One would think the usual damp, cold weather conditions in San Francisco would make the bees avoid the area. Once the normal weather patterns of winter set in, the problem would vanish…they would freeze to death.
They can kill humans, but are no more aggressive than regular bees, UNLESS they feel their hive is attacked.
Thanks Obama
Hope the bees win
