No one species of bee is any more deadly than any other. Individual bee stings are no problem to most people, but a lot of stings would be. It is estimated that around two stings per kilogram of body weight could prove fatal.

The sting of the so-called 'killer bee', more properly called Africanized honey bee, is no more powerful than the sting of the common Western honey bee. Their reputation comes from the fact that they are less docile and sting more readily, and people often get stung more than once by them.

To a person who is hypersensitive to bee venom it is immaterial what variety of bee stings them, the effect will be the same.

Can ground bees kill you?

Yes they can be dangerous and some people make the mistake of not realizing that they could be wasps or hornets. In British Columbia we have hornets that live in mud under water! Many people have been stung with them. If you or anyone in your family (including pets) are bitten give Benadryl antihistamines (ready label for adults and children) and if a pet is bit, take them immediately the vets. You are going to need an exterminator to help you rid yourself of these ground pests.
