It sounds like the bees you are describing may be bumble bees. Bumble bees can have varying sizes, some larger than honey bees, and they are known to nest in the ground with structures similar to honeycomb. Bumble bees are important pollinators and generally not aggressive unless disturbed.

Why are African honey bees called African honey bees?

That they are native to the African continent is the reason why African honey bees are so called.Specifically, the African honey bee (Apis mellifera scutellata) can be found natively in central and much of southern Africa. It faces competition from the Cape honey bee (Apis mellifera capensis) in southernmost South Africa. In turn, it offers competition to introduced European honey bees (Apis mellifera), which are less aggressive all the while producing far more honey.


What happened to the ecosystem after the killer bees were introduce?

Nothing significant. 'Killer bee' is a name given by sensationalist media to what is more properly called Africanized honey bees. Apart from being somewhat more aggressive (hence the name) they are indistinguisable from other honey bees.
