But, I don't understand...The media told me that it was only a matter of
time before they (Africainized Honey Bee)were everywhere.  I upped my life
insurance because of this.  Also, I am extremely concerned about shark
attacks.  Judging by the amount of press coverage last year, multiplied by
the number of lakes in Minnesota, I think I am living on borrowed time!  I
am almost positive they have made it to Lake Superior and then all they
have to do is hitch a ride on some anglers boat just like Zebra Muscles
(Dreissena Polymorpha) and Eurasian milfoil (Myriophyllum spicatum L.) ;-P

Got what, Matthew? Oh, the south/north migration thing?  That doesn't
matter, I have seen it on TV and read it in the paper and the press doesn't
lie.
