| Impact Report | Africanized Honey Bee Education The agent presented a program on Africanized Honey Bees at a weekly safety meeting of the Roswell Parks and Recreation Department. Thirty city employees who work outdoors each day at a park, zoo, cemetery, or other city facility gained factual information about Africanized bees and how they differ from their European counterparts. Chaves County has had numerous cases of positively identified Africanized bees in the area, with one positive sample coming the Roswell Parks and Recreation Department. Workers now have correct information about the bees and are better able to safely handle a potentially life-threatening bee situation. |
