I forgot to mention that killer bees (or one who is a member of the hive) have one peculiar trait. They usually don't sting first - they will "head butt" you if you are getting close, or in their beeline. If you get a bee or two bumping into you - get away, its all the warning you may get....

I'm allergic to bees, so, we are always very careful (I carry a bee sting kit). You really can't tell a killer bee from a regular bee, (even scientists have to do measurements), but, it doesn't matter because one killer bee queen will cause all the other bees in the hive to act just like the killer ...

Hello,

The "Fiero" versus "Fierro" doesn't mean anything is misspelled.

"Fiero" means "Fierce"

"Fierro" means "iron"

Perhaps it is referring to two different things.

"To the North of what?" shouldnt be too hard to answer. A couple of lines above that line, Waltz is talking about the "saddle" above his camp (shelving cave, i believe). If the "opening" of his cave faces north, and supposedly looks at the mine and tunnel, I want to ma...
