Bees Continued from page 1A but not out of, the affected area. “If bee keepers do have Africanized bees in their hives, the quarantine prevents them from spreading,” Baxter said. Baxter said the state is working with bee keepers, stressing cleanliness and control of hives, to prevent the spread of Africanized honeybees. “The more good, gentle honeybees we have, the less room there is for the Africanized bees,” Baxter said. People also can take extra precautions to protect themselves from the bees by know ing where they commonly like to nest, Baxter said. “People need to be aware of what’s in their yards," Baxter said. "Bees will get into strange places.” According to the AgNews Website, those places can include holes or cracks in build ing walls and trees, underneath homes, meter boxes, flower pots, oio® bams or sheds, underneath picnic table -- in park shelters. ' If stung by a bee, one should rente ■ stinger quickly, use an ice packer stilt' ointment to reduce swelling and pr,; seek medical attention it an allergic lion occurs. Tp!ij| .
