The so-called killer bee is badly named: it should be called an Africanized bee because it is the result of a cross originally between an African queen (apis mellifera scutella) and western drones.

The sting of a single Africanized bee is no more dangerous than that of a western bee, but the Africanized bees tend to be less docile so the risk of being stung multiple times is greater.

In this sense, it could be considered a pest because beekeepers prefer their bees to be more docile so than can be more easily handled.

not really, even though they could potentially be dangerous, they help flowers pollenate and germinate, and make honey, and when you get a hold of it, its delicious! sadly their numbers are dwindling. but no, bees aren't pests don't kill them. actually, i'm not a hippie, and i dislike peta, but bees can be "trained" to let you pet them lightly with your pinky finger. real cool. but don't press down, or he/she will sting you.
