Here are some reactions from users:
@Eddie_Mugoh: “This is ridiculous. Just take the queen bee, and the others will come right to you. This feels like some kind of witchcraft to scare people.”
@Dr_Shiyaklenga: “Why aren’t they sending bees after the people looting the economy? This is just black people being stuck in their superstitions.”
@MajorDefender: “Why can’t they use this method on corrupt politicians who have ruined the country and make them return what they’ve stolen?”
@Muzi_Mageba: “I wonder why our ancestors didn’t use this kind of ‘African technology’ to deal with colonizers. We could have defeated them.”
@GFInfinity51: “African science seems limited to catching small-time thieves. They know who to send the bees after, but those who steal taxes? Never happens. Such a missed opportunity.”
