This doesn't seem to make sense. My 2 Yorkies walk around the apiary all the
time. Even when they get stung on the foot by walking on a bee it doesn't
trigger an attack.
Maybe the dogs food had something in it, like banana odor.
Maybe the colony was part Africanized.
There has to be a better reason somewhere.
