ILLEGAL ALIENS AND CAPE BEES, TWO OF THE SAME

Black Cape honeybees (Apis mellifera capensis) and yellow "scuts" (A. m. scutellata) live side by side - for now...

Cape Bees are a species of honeybee from Africa. Cape Bees are different from all other honeybees. Cape bees kill Africanized Honey Bees, and are doing so in alarming numbers.

Cape bees spend their lives sneaking into Africanized Honey Bee hives. Most Cape bees are immediately killed at the entrance of the hive for trying to sneak in. Some Cape bees do make it in, and then, begin their covert operation.

Once inside, Cape bees begin doing what normal bees can’t do, they lay their own eggs! In a normal honey bee hive, a queen bee takes care of egg production. Cape bees break this hive-law by laying their own eggs. Cape bees also fool the original Africanized bee residents into tending to the Cape bee eggs first and foremost over their own! I found this shockingly similar to what we endure with Illegal Immigration and what are termed "anchor babies", babies born to illegal aliens here in America. Again, these “non resident” Cape bees somehow have the ability to force the resident bees to do the work in tending to their eggs!! It was frightening and sad to watch this process happen, a few black Cape bees among thousands of Africanized bees, taking over, and slowly killing the hive.

Once the Cape bee eggs hatch, it is only a matter of time for the poor Africanized honey bees and their hive. Because of the abnormally heavy tending to the eggs, the Cape bees have huge offspring. They are larger than normal and will consume MORE than the Africanized bees do. The hive is then taxed by the increased demands from the intruding Cape bees. Also, Cape bees don’t work! That’s right, Cape bees don’t work at all. Cape bees are masters at living off of their Africanized hosts. Cape bees do not travel out for nectar, and simply let the Africanized bees do that work as well. As a matter of fact, scientists have witnessed, filmed and documented this whole development and discovered that the invading Cape bees don’t contribute to or help their invaded Africanized hive in any way at all.

Let’s take a brief review. Cape bees "sneak in" and invade a neighboring Africanized hive, they plop out babies all over the place ignoring the rule of the queen and they don’t work. Sound familiar?

Another shocking aspect to Cape bees is that they give birth to exact clones of themselves.

After the Cape bees give birth to clones who only work for themselves and not the hive, the growing population of Cape bees cause the Africanized bees to eventually destroy themselves including the queen! The invaded Africanized bee hive is then completely destroyed, and the remaining Cape bees then move to another hive to start the destructive invasion all over again. Not only is this hive destroyed, but the surrounding eco system will feel the impact as well.

Do you find this shockingly similar to The Illegal Alien Invasion of America? I was amazed when viewing a documentary about Cape bees on Animal Planet the other night. I could not believe it that here was Mother Nature herself, showing me her fatalities from invasion!! Here was a fluke of nature, or a strain of bees gone bad, a cancer in the bloodline if you will. Cape bees don’t show any positive aspects other than exterminating Africanized Honeybees. Africanized Honey bees could be pushed to extinction, and then other species of honey bees might be threatened as well. If we were to loose enough honey bees – the facts are the facts, – this planet and it's life could be severely threatened or doomed completely.

Cape bees and Illegal Aliens are two of the same. In the end, the hive, the system, the infrastructure and it’s residents are all destroyed, with death in the wake. And in the end, the original invaders move, or migrate illegally, to sneak in and destroy again. Mother nature can’t lie, Illegal Immigration suffered by any country shows no good.
