...to the rhythm of the war drums.

So they're supposed to be bees, but they don't look so great. I'm not completely happy with this, I may edit it further later.

The Killer Bee has been taking over most of the docile honey bee population in North America, especially in the south. They have a day less gestation period, and thus when the male drones sneak killer bee larvae into a honey bee hive, the killer bee is born a day earlier than the honey bee; eating it before it can hatch.

70% of of the bees have disappeared from many regions across the the United States, and in some areas of Asia the bees have disappeared completely. Many bees are shipped in from Australia to pollinate farmers fields. Which is in-turn is creating foreign diseases for the bees... Another diversity.

This can have devastating effects on our lives. Not only do we rely on them for honey, but for pollination of all fruit, flowers and their by-products!

I used a black sheep to illustrate how the Killer bee attacks dark or black animals including dogs much more frequently than any other colour. This is because in their native Africa, the Honey Badger (which is black) is the bees only predator.

Afterall, I can always relate to the black sheep.
