If the media has taught me one thing, just one thing in all my years, it's that whatever you hear from it needs to be taken with a huge spoonful of salt.

Africanized Bees don't create broods as large as European honeybees do. They swarm much more often and don't hoard as much honey so they don't handle cold weather well which means they will most likely never reach Canada.
