The so-called 'killer bee' -- a name given to them by the sensationalist media and Hollywood; more properly called the Africanized honey bee -- first appeared in northern Brazil in the 1950s. It has slowly spread south to the limits of tropical South America and north through Central America to the southernmost states of the US. It is unlikely to spread much further because Africanized honey bees don't tolerate cold weather.
They are not as bad as a lot of the hype about them would have you think. They are the same size as the European honey bee -- in fact they look exactly the same. The sting of an Africanized bee is no worse than the sting of a European bee. Their problem is that they are more protective of their hive so, if angered, tend to sting in larger numbers.
