What bee is most likely to sting and why?
Bees are normally quite docile and will sting only if they feel threatened or in defence of their colony. Having said that, some bees can be a little more aggressive than others. The most aggressive honey bee is the Africanized honey bee, the offspring of some Tanzanian honey bee queens which escaped from a research station in Brazil in the 1950s which mated with local European honey bee drones. Although a sting from an individual Africanized bee is no worse than a sting from a European bee, they sting much more readily and victims tend to receive stings from a large number of bees. Sensationalist media have given the Africanized honey bee the name 'killer bee'.
Is killer bee venom deadly?
The sting of the Africanised Honey Bee (Killer bee) is no more potent than another variety of honey bee.What makes them more dangerous is that they are more easily provoked, quick to swarm, attack in greater numbers, and pursue their victims for greater distances.So, it is not deadly in a single sting, but with multiple stings it can be deadly but no more than any other honey bee.Of course, if you're allergic to bee venom, even a single sting could be deadly.

Do honeybees sting woodbees?
In theory, honey bees will sting anything that poses a threat to either a specific honey bee, or to the hive, including other insects, mammals, farm equipment, birds, clothing, etc. Stinging is their primary mode of defense. I have not heard of a specific case where a honey bee has stung a wood bee (or carpenter bee), but if a perceived threat from a carpenter bee was registered with one or more honey bees, or the hive, I have every reason to believe that honey bees would sting a carpenter bee. Incidentally, the opposite is also true, a carpenter bee could, in theory, sting a honey bee.
