    well it depends...in Europe yes...very tasty...in the US...CALL 911

    well on a serious note, because it is a serious subject, 14 people have been killed in the US from bees, if the so called "bee" shows a "persistent" and agressive atitude...RUN!
    AHB will chase for at least 200m there are documented cases in which a swarm has given chase for over a MILE.

    read the link

    the people on the link that Catlegwest posted were VERY lucky, and DUMB.

    As an unwitting victim of German bees, bent on my personal destruction or at the least after my wallet all I can say is......

    RUN...RUN FAST!

    Yeah, and if you read the (mostly funny) text in that post, apparently the brother in law is allergic to them as well. Don't try it at home, but man, those are some good photos...

    If we attach small outboard motors to the tails we can have Mechanized Cavalry.
