There are Africanized honey bees in Texas.

Is the Africanized honey bee damaging the environment it now lives in?
An Africanized honey bee is just a bee with attitude. Apart from that there are no significant physical differences between Africanized bees and Western honey bees -- in fact the only way to be sure which type of bee you have is DNA analysis. For this reason, Africanized bees are no more damaging to the environment than any other bees. In fact, all bees are essential to maintain the environment as we know it.
How do AHB take over EHB hives?
It was hoped the much greater numbers of the European honey bee would swamp out the Africanized honey bee as they naturally cross-bred. The problem has turned out to be that the Africanized honey bee queen has a very slightly shorter pupation period than the European honey bee queen, so she tends to emerge first. A newly-emerged queen will try to kill all the other developing queens before they emerge. This slight imbalance means the Africanized bee has a slight advantage and this is why hives can become Africanized as the queens are replaced.
Can an Africanized honey bee and a yellow jacket both sting a person?

Who would win a killer bee or a honeybee?
The Africanized honey bees (aka killer bee) is a more aggressive bee than the regular honey bee. The "killer bee" was created by cross breeding the African Honey Bee with various European Honey Bees. The fear many Bee Keepers feared when it was discovered that the "killer" bee's were heading to the U.S. was safety for their honey bee's. Since the Africanized honey bee was/is more aggressive. Therefore because of the intense aggression, the answer to your question would more than likely be the "killer bee" would win.
