Imported key not used - Githubissues

There seems to be a problem with the usage of imported keys. I have tried my default keys, I have tried importing a new one. I have confirmed the key is imported. Maybe a problem with the boto usage?

beeswithmachineguns is up-to-date

$ pip install beeswithmachineguns --upgrade

Requirement already up-to-date: beeswithmachineguns in /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages
Requirement already up-to-date: boto==2.0 in /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages (from beeswithmachineguns)

Cleaning up...

The key is imported:

$ aws ec2  describe-key-pairs | grep  bee -A 1 -B 2
        {
            "KeyFingerprint": "04:b6:8a:f8:fc:37:fd:c1:d4:62:81:18:71:84:49:b8",
            "KeyName": "bee"
        },

My key file is indeed a valid private key.

$ file  ~/.ssh/bee.pem

/home/vagrant/.ssh/bee.pem: PEM RSA private key

bees fails with a rather cryptic error.

$ bees up -s 3  -k bee
New bees will use the "default" EC2 security group. Please note that port 22 (SSH) is not normally open on this group. You will need to use to the EC2 tools to open it before you will be able to attack.

I checked my .boto file as well. I assume this is at least a documentation issue.
