How fast will killer bees kill people?
Killer bee venom is actually less potent than honey bee. The only problem is that honey bees will keep poking you repeatedly and not get much venom in your system, where killer bees poke you with the stinger and extract all of the venom. Another thing about bees is that they will attack in swarms, they will follow you for up to two miles and just latch on. It really depends on how much venom the bee is able to put in your system, and how many you are stung by. http://www.beeremovalspecialist.com/bees/bee-identification.html
