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.

It really depends on how much venom the bee is able to put in your system, and how many you are stung by.
