In Martin County, Florida, if you have Africanized Honeybees (a.k.a. “Killer Bees“) on your property, the county can come onto your land to dispatch them:

Commissioners in Martin County have unanimously passed an ordinance allowing county employees to go onto private property without permission to kill Africanized bees and treat areas where mosquitoes are breeding.

I know that “killer bees” do, indeed, kill people. However, I don’t think that even dozens — let alone hundreds or thousands — of Americans die per annum from attacks from killer be…

Wait! What was that last part? Mosquitoes? In Florida? It isn’t as if the whole state is a swamp or anything…

Property rights, schmoperty rights. They gots to kill them bugs.

You can fully expect an up-tick of arrests and citations stemming from this decision.
