If you want a technical, scientific term, he is called an "apiarist". An apiologist is some one who studies bees. Any good apiarist (bee keeper) will be well versed in apiology (the study of bees). They practically have to be.
In sufficient quantities soapy water will kill any bee because it will drown. It makes no difference whether they are africanized or not. There has been a lot of fear drummed up about africanized bees by the sensationalist media. They look no different from a European honey bee and their sting is no worse. The problem is they are far more defensive and sting more readily.
First, the so-called 'killer bee' -- more properly called the Africanized honey bee -- is not the result of an experiment that went wrong.The European honey bee is not at its best in tropical conditions and during the 1950s research was started to find a hybrid that would be better suited to the heat. In 1957, in south-east Brazil, 26 Tanzanian honey bee queens (apis mellifera scutellata) accidentally escaped from a research project and mated with local drones. Their offspring have now spread as far as the southern United States and south to the edge of tropical South America. They do not tolerate cold weather well, and this will probably be the limiting factor to further spread.The name 'killer bee' was invented by sensationalist media because they are more defensive than the European honey bee and are more liable to sting. However a sting from an individual Africanized bee is no worse than a sting from a European bee.
There is not a species of bee in the UK that bites as far as I am aware. Most bees rely on stings to defend themselves or their colony.In the case of honey bees the queen only uses her sting to eliminate rival queens. You are also very unlikely to come across her unless you are a beekeeper as she spends nearly all of her life in the hive/nest. If she is part of swarm then she is usually near the centre of the mass of bees.
Yes, honey bees rely on flowers for nectar and pollen, which serve as their main food sources. They are dependent on these flowering plants for their survival and for the production of honey and beeswax.

In the 1950s 26 Tanzanian honey bee queens (apis mellifera scutallata) escaped from a research establishment in Brazil. They mated with local European (Western) honey bee drones (apis mellifera mellifera) and their offspring have spread as far north as the southern United States, and south to the limits of tropical South America. These are what are called Africanized honey bees.
It's not as much Honey as Pollen that attracts bee, if there is honey around and bees are far from ther ehive they may rest in the hive that has honey in it or if the is honey bees may make a hive near by because honey means pollen.
So far, Metal Mario, Lakitu (red shell), Honey Queen (AKA Queen Bee from both Super Mario Galaxys) and Wiggler. Although there may be more to be announced, but it's very unlikely because the game is only 2 weeks from being released.

That they are native to the African continent is the reason why African honey bees are so called.Specifically, the African honey bee (Apis mellifera scutellata) can be found natively in central and much of southern Africa. It faces competition from the Cape honey bee (Apis mellifera capensis) in southernmost South Africa. In turn, it offers competition to introduced European honey bees (Apis mellifera), which are less aggressive all the while producing far more honey.
If you say the bees are a time the scout takes to make the workers how far away the food is. If you say a flying insect that can make honey . Bees made a buzzing noise among the flowers

No. The term 'killer bee' is wrong. It is the result of sensationalist movies and media reports. The correct term is Africanized honey bee, and their sting is no more dangerous than that of the European honey bee. However, they do have a tendancy to sting more readily. The Africanized honey bee is not a species of bee, it is a hybrid, originally from one of 26 Tanzanian honey bee queens (apis mellifera scutella) mating with European drones in south eastern Brazil where research was being undertaken to find a bee better suited to the tropics. The queens had been accidentally released in 1957 and their descendants have spread as far as the southern United States and down into tropical South America. They are less tolerant to cold weather than the European bees and this will probably limit their spread.

If it is a Honey Bee, simply move away, and do not harm the bee. Do not kill Honey Bees. They provide pollination for our crops and without them the population of the world would starve to death. Honey Bees are not aggressive when away from the hive and unless you step on the bee or otherwise harm it, there is no danger of it stinging you. Hornets and wasps on the other hand are unpredictable and can become aggressive at any time. Move away from any wasp or hornet. If it becomes aggressive then kill it or flee. Move 150 yards away as it will not follow that far. grab a lighter and hair spray and chase the bee down and kill its whole family
