You can tell that bees may have become africanized by how "hot" a hive is, meaning that the bees becomes very violent with a lot of bees trying to sting you and chasing after you long distances, but this does not necessarily mean that they have become africanized. The only way to truly confirm that they are africanized is that you send some dead bees to a lab to have its wings measured as africanized bees have smaller wings than other types of bees.

∙ 15y agoThe Africanized bee is a honey bee, and it is not sufficiently different from a pure-bred European bee for you to see any difference. The only definitive way to differenciate is by DNA analysis.
Africanized bees are hybrids: the result of a cross between Tanzanian honey bees (apis mellifera scutella) and European bees.

Where do africanized honey bees live?
Africanized honey bees started in Brazil and have gradually worked their way north to as far as Texas.
How is honey obtained from bees?
After the bees have made the honey, they store it in honeycombs; small cells sealed with wax. If these honeycombs are made a certain way, they can be remover and replaced easily. A beekeeper takes out the honeycomb, cuts the wax off, and lets the honey flow out into a collection container (then replaces the used honeycomb). The honey is then taken away and processed into what we see in the jars at the supermarket.
How do bees help the earth?

What does a honey bee make honey from?
Honeybees collect sweet nectar from flowers and bring it back to their hives. There it is stored for future use, because its sugar provides honeybees with the energy they need. The nectar is stored as honey, which is a thick, concentrated form of nectar that has been converted in the bees' digestive tracts. Honey is stored in little compartments or cells in the hive, which the bees seal over with beeswax which they also produce. We call this honey-filled wax honeycomb. Beekeepers take honeycomb from the hive (leaving enough behind for the bees), using the wax for candle making and the honey to sweeten all kinds of foods.they collect pollen.
What are the adaptations of killer bees?
'Killer bees' is really the wrong name, they should really be called Africanized bees because they are the result of a cross between some African queens and western honey bee drones. They are not killers, the sting of an Africanized bee is no worse than the sting of a western bee. The problem with them is they tend to be less docile and more prone to sting, hence their reputation. As far as adaptations are concerned, Africanized bees are very little different from western bees. They are the same size and colouring. There is a slight difference in the veins in the wing, but looking at one bee is not enough to tell, you have to take measurements of a large number of bees and statistically analyse the results to see a difference. The only definitive way of distinguishing is by DNA analysis.
How do you tell honey bee from africanized bee?
There is no obvious physical difference between Africanized honey bees and European honey bees. The only way of distinguishing is by DNA analysis.
Do the honey bees see the same way as you do?
no
Where do africanized honey bees live?
Africanized honey bees started in Brazil and have gradually worked their way north to as far as Texas.
How did the pioneers get the bees away from the hive and how did they get the honey from the honeycomb?
Before 1850, the only way to retrieve the honey was to drive the bees away, often by using lots of smoke but this usually killed the bees. Once the bees were gone you could do anything you wanted to do with the honey comb.
What are two reasons honey bees are beneficial?
every spring and summer,bees produce over 10,000 pounds of honey each year. but scientific studies show that bees don't accutally eat honey. they just invent it. so every year we get lots of honey!another way bees are very benificial is that flowers can't survive without them.the pollen in the the flowers NEEDS to be taken out in order for it to grow. so because of bees we have flowers and honey.
Why do you need to feed the bees after taking there honey?
The honey that bees produce is to feed themselves during the winter. If a beekeeper removes all of their honey, the bees would die of starvation during the winter as they have no way of replenishing their lost stores (no flowers in the winter). The bees are usually fed sugar syrup - a mixture of ordinary granulated sugar mixed with water.
How do honey bees carry nectar?
Honey bees carry pollen and nectar in two ways. The most common way is by the hairs on their legs and stomach which pollen sticks to. Some bees also have hollow areas on their legs which can carry food as well.
How can i catch the swarm of bees?
There are multiple ways to catch a swarm of bees. One way to catch a swarm is to use a smoker.
Where to obtain free honey bees?
The only way to get free bees is to collect a honey bee swarm. Get your friends and neighbours to tell you if they see one. A note of caution. If you are new to beekeeping I strongly urge you to contact a local beekeeper or your local beekeeping association for help and guidance. There is a lot to learn and you can't get it all from books.
Do bees have a sort of camouflage?
Yes. Honey Bees do camouflage. Their color is the color of honey. As stated in the name, Honey Bee.
Is there a way to get bees to draw out wax cells when there is not a big honey flow?
Feed them with sugar syrup.
Do cats eat honey bees?
