The sting of an Africanized honey bee (proper name for what Hollywood and the sensationalist media call the 'killer bee') is no worse than the sting of any other variety of bee. Most people will just have a short period of pain from the sting, but there is a very small minority of people who are hypersensitive to bee venom, and for these people one sting can be dangerous -- even life-threatening. And the variety of bee makes no difference.

The insect that has the most potent venom belongs to the ants in the Pogonomyrmex genus. This tiny little insect can kill a 2kg mammal (such as a rat or a rabbit) with only twelve stings. These ants could kill a human with between 350 to 450 stings, without an allergic reaction taking place. To put this in perspective, to get the same reaction from a honey bee, it would take well over 10,000 stings. -Found in: 'What is the most poisonous insect?'
