HOW TO ESCAPE FROM KILLER BEES


[cu dedicatie pentru adi ]

1) If bees begin flying around and/or stinging you, do not freeze.
2) Run away; swatting at the bees only makes them angrier.
3) Get indoors as fast as you can.
4) If no shelter is available, run through bushes or high weeds.
This will help give you cover.

If a bee stings you, it will leave its stinger in your skin.
Remove the stinger by raking your fingernail across it in a sideways motion. Do not pinch or pull the stinger out—this may squeeze more venom from the stinger into your body. Do not let stingers remain in the skin, because venom can continue to pump into the body for up to ten minutes.

To MINIMIZE RISK

• Avoid colonies by filling in holes or cracks in exterior walls, filling in tree cavities, and putting
screens on the tops of rainspouts and over water meter boxes in the ground.

• Do not bother bee colonies: if you see that bees are building—or have already built—a colony
around your home, do not disturb them. Call a pest control center to find out who removes bees

• Do not jump into a swimming pool or other body of water—the bees are likely to be waiting for you when you surface.
