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.

How does a killer bee kill you?

Killer bees are known as deadly not because their venom is more poisonous, but because their victims will receive a larger quantity of venom. Killer bees are highly territorial and defensive so when they feel threatened, they swarm around their victim, stinging hundreds of times.


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

How could venom kill us?

Venom can kill, generally, in three different ways. A nerve toxin, such as from a rattlesnake or black widow, shuts down nerve pathways and thus the body's organs. Bee venom, for example, can cause a deadly allergic reaction, stopping the victim's breathing. Finally, a bacterial toxin, such as from a Komodo dragon's bite, causes a deadly infection.
