From the second issue of The Gotham Times:

Gotham's only remaining beekeeper was found dead yesterday, apparently the result of thousands of bee stings. Entomologists were puzzled by the aggressive behavior of the normally docile bees that killed their owner, Gabriel Andrew Filanger. A Gotham Rapid Biohazard Intervention Force took samples of the bees, which seemed to be in a satiated, engorged state. It has been speculated that Filanger's usual stock of friendly, familiar European honeybees may have ben contaminated with the much more aggressive Africanized variety, which has been moving north from Central America since the 1970s. Donations to a memorial fund for Mr. Filanger can be given to the Gotham Bee Nice charity, which supports bees throughout the globe.
