THEY KILL 'Killer bees' are more properly called Africanized bees because they have been cross bred with a wild African species. Their sting is no more deadly than that of normal bees, but Africanized bees tend to be less docile than normal so are more ready to sting. When one bee stings, it also releases an attack pheromone which attracts other bees who are also more likely to sting. If people are badly affected it will be because of the sheer number of stings they receive.

I deal with Honey Bees almost year round and find them essential in gardening, so I think the following information will be useful.

There are mites and other insects that eat the bee larva. This is a natural occurring part of their existence. Spiders are of course never too picky on what they can catch in their web either, but this is usually not a considerable problem.

Animals such as: Bears, possums, raccoons, and other critters are interested in their honey and larva. There are some types of birds and toads that will eat what is available, like bees.

In recent years the accepted practice of "killing everything" with chemicals has brought the bee population down in urban areas. To kill off bees is to greatly reduce the populating of fruit and vegetables.

In conclusion the wise thing to do if you have a bee problem is contact a local beekeeper and he most likely will gladly relocate your bees. Bees are an essential part of our ecosystem.

While bees are not considered endangered as of yet, many of them are dying. Though scientists have tried to determine the cause, the reason is still elusive.
