Answer: killer bees

In an attempt to hybrid African and European honey bees in a South American laboratory, Warwick Kerr, bee scientist extraordinaire, accidentally allowed several of the hybrid cross African/European bees to escape. This quickly gave rise to what we know as "killer bees", which are much more defensive than the African and European buzzers were on their own. Contrary to urban legends, "killer bees" do not have deadlier venom than their forerunners and unless one has an allergy to bee venom, cannot kill a person with a single or even several stings. They received their moniker "killer bees" because once the hive is provoked, this species of bees quickly begin to attack whatever it is that disturbed them in ever-increasing numbers.

Answer: True

Wow! Talk about enhanced vision. It's true! A honeybee's ability to sense movement is six times keener than that of the human eye, an amazingly intricate organ in its own right. And what's even more amazing is that honeybees have FIVE eyes which means the sight of a honeybee is approximately fifteen times more acute than that of people. With vision like that, you'd never miss anything when watching your favourite movies or TV shows. Wouldn't it be great if scientists could only find a way to transfer the incredible sight of a honeybee into humans (and especially into some of the referees in major league sports who seem to need the help at times)?
