How can we educate people to recognize honey bee's nest versus mud wasps or hornets?

It was...at least twice before in video format.

You really can't.  You're going to have ignorance everywhere.  I think the guy who posted this video actually tried to get someone to take care of the bees and couldn't find anyone.  I may be wrong, but that's in my mind for some reason.

I saw those same pictures tied to a article or e-mail about Africanized Honeybees.

I am not on face book but are these the one where the  guy sprays the bees in his grill?
That one was sent around a bunch of times a year or two ago.
Another one had to do with a swingset.
These types of pics get recirculated ever time someone digs one up.

Besides, it was in Australia, that would have been a very costly cutout for most of us. :-D

I don't know....maybe if we get a big rake and strap on some super smoking pesticide and slide it under this guy's house we could educate this fool....

I didn't know that this circulated on the net before, but still it just made me want to puke.

After you see things like this for a couple years, pics of tractor trailers hauling bees dumped all over a highway in Canada during winter, etc., you'll get used to it.  :-D
