a killer bee is very deadly and a honey bee can sting you and it will hurt but it wont be as deadly
----The above is a common misconception. 'Killer bee' is a name given to the Africanized honey bee by Hollywood and the sensationalist media. The Africanized honey bee is the result of a cross between some Tanzanian honey bee queens which escaped from a research laboratory in northern Brazil in the 1950s. They mated with local European honey bee drones and produced wild (feral) colonies which slowly spread southwards to the limits of tropical South America and northwards through Central America to the southernmost states of the USA. There are none anywhere else in the world, and they are not likely to spread too much further because they don't tolerate cold weather.
Africanized bees and European bees are the same size, look the same and generally behave the same. The only way to definitively tell them apart is by DNA analysis. The sting of an individual Africanized bee is no worse than the sting of a European bee. Their reputation comes from the fact they are more defensive of their hive so are far more ready to sting and tend to sting in larger numbers. It is the number of stings that make them more dangerous.
