They aren't. There is a hybrid strain of honey bee which is properly called Africanised bees, and they tend to be more aggressive than normal honey bees. They are only found in South America, Central America and southern states of the United States. These Africanised bees have been known to attack people and livestock for no apparent reason and some people have then died from multiple stings. The media picked up on this and nicknamed them 'killer bees'.
