Imagine all the dark humor answers people kept to themselves after reading this question xD
Africanized honey bees started in Brazil and have gradually worked their way north to as far as Texas.
no
Africanized honey bees (also known as killer bees) were brought to Brazil in the 1950s as an experiment to improve honey production. Some of the bees eventually escaped and interbred with local honey bees, leading to the establishment of Africanized honey bees in the Americas.
The Africanized honey bee. Euorpean honey bees were breed with African honey bees, creating a hybrid bee known as the Africanized honey bee, or killer bee.
You can tell that bees may have become africanized by how "hot" a hive is, meaning that the bees becomes very violent with a lot of bees trying to sting you and chasing after you long distances, but this does not necessarily mean that they have become africanized. The only way to truly confirm that they are africanized is that you send some dead bees to a lab to have its wings measured as africanized bees have smaller wings than other types of bees.
africanized bees are more aggressive and attack whatever approaches their hive. also called killer bees

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.
no
Africanized honey bees also known as colloquially
There is no obvious physical difference between Africanized honey bees and European honey bees. The only way of distinguishing is by DNA analysis.
Africanized honey bees (AHB), known colloquially as "killer bees" or Africanized bees, are hybrids of the African honey bee, Apis mellifera scutellata (not A. m. adansonii; see Collet et al., 2006), with various European honey bees such as the Italian bee A. m. ligusticaand A. m. iberiensis.
