I disagree. They are rather too aggressive for my liking, unlike
bees which are welcome.

Hmm.... we have a beekeeper keeping his hives
just down the road. The strain of bee he uses
is a nasty sort of yellow looking thing, very
aggressive when trapped inside the house. We
have been told that he uses these aggressive
bees because they produce the best honey.

Not true.

Not
much comfort to SWMBO, who is liable to go into
a dangerous shock if stung. ((

So am I but I take care not to be stung. A beekeeper is more likely to be
stung than anyone else because s/he causes a defensive response by invading
the nest.
