Kerr: Yes, what is it?
MacRogue: Oh, if-if, oh--
Kerr: Look, it's quite simple.
MacRogue: Uh...
Kerr: You just stay here, and make sure none of the queens leaves the hives. All right?
Kerr: Right.
MacRogue: Oh, I remember. Uh, can the queens leave the hives?
Kerr: N- No no no. You just keep the queens in the hives, and make sure--
MacRogue: Oh, yes, I'll keep them in the hives, obviously. But if they--
Kerr: Just keep them in the hives--
MacRogue: Until you leave--
Kerr: No, no, just keep them in the hives until I get back.
MacRogue: Get back.
Kerr: Right?
MacRogue: Right, we'll stay here until you get back.
Kerr: And, uh, make sure the queens don't leave.
MacRogue: What?
Kerr: Make sure the queens don't leave the hives.
Kerr: Is that clear?
MacRogue: Oh, I see. Right.

He decided to go away for a few days on holiday. And he hired Helio MacRogue, a part time itinerent beekeeper, to monitor his experiment. While Kerr was away, MacRogue let 26 of the African killer queens escape into the wild. While we're not really sure how the queens escaped, the following excerp from the tape records Kerr kept as part of his experiment provide a possible clue:
Kerr: Now MacRogue, Make sure none of the queens leave the hives while I'm away on my holiday.
MacRogue: Not to let them out until after you've gone on holiday.
Kerr: No, no. While I'm away on my holiday.
MacRogue: While you're away on your holiday, I don't need to do anything, apart from just making sure the queens don't get in the hive.
Kerr: No no, keep them in!
MacRogue: Keep them in, yes.
Kerr: All right?
MacRogue: Right. Oh, if-if-if, uh, if-if-if, uh, if-if-if I...
