They spread naturally in a northward direction after having escaped in the 1950's from a research facility in South America.
African killer bees have been found in states such as Arizona, California, New Mexico, Nevada, and Texas. These bees are a hybrid species resulting from the crossbreeding of African honey bees with European honey bees. They are known for their aggressive behavior and ability to sting in large numbers.
It's unlikely that killer bees will reach New York, as they primarily exist in warmer climates closer to the equator. Their spread is closely monitored, and efforts are in place to prevent them from moving into temperate regions like New York.
There are probably millions of bees in New Jersey.
Killer Bees or Africanized Bees are more sensitive to cold weather because they need more food to keep the hive alive during winter. This means they have a hard time competing against the European Honey Bees that beekeepers in North America keep. Africanized Bees are expected to eventually migrate to the Chesapeake Bay area, but not further north. However, by the time they do arrive, it is likely that they will have interbred with the local bee populations so much they they are not likely to be as agressive/defensive as they have behaved in their migration across the south-west. Not all Africanized hives are defensive; some are quite gentle, which gives a beginning point for beekeepers to breed a gentler stock. This has been done in Brazil, where bee incidents are much less common than they were during the first wave of the Africanized bees' colonization. Now that the Africanized bee has been "re-domesticated," it is considered the bee of choice for beekeeping in Brazil.
Africanized honey bees, which were given the name 'killer bees' by the sensationalist media, are just a particular breed of honey bee (a cross between the Tanzanian honey bee, Apis mellifera scutellata, and the Western honey bee, Apis mellifera mellifera. As such, they are the same size and have the same appearance as the Western honey bee, and have the same lifespan. Queens live for three to five years; workers can live for up to six months over the winter, but will only live for about six weeks in the summer; and drones can live for about four months, but die during the act of mating with a new queen, and will be evicted from the hive by the workers at the end of summer, and will die of cold or starvation.

Honey bees (Apis mellifera) were first introduced to New Zealand by English settlers in the Hokianga, Northland, in 1839.
Clover is important to New Zealand pasture for it adds nitrogen. To enable the clover to be pollinated, Bumble Bees were introduced, for Honey Bees lack a sufficiently long tongue.

There are several genera of native wasp and bees, though most are small and none are troublesome to people. There are several accidentally introduced species of wasp, and several more that have been introduced to deal with other pests.
There are no bumblebees on mainland Australia, but they have been introduced to the island state of Tasmania. This occurred in 1992, when one species (Bombus terrestris) was accidentally introduced. Australia has around 1500 species of native bees. In addition, many species of honeybee have been introduced to the country. Two of Australia's native bees are sometimes mistaken for bumblebees. These are the giant yellow and black carpenter bee (Xylocopa) of Queensland and northern NSW and the golden-brown furry teddy bear bee (Amegilla). But as of 2013, there are no bumblebees on the Australian mainland.
yes every country has bees
In sandy areas such as in California, Arizona, Texas, New Mexico, and Mexico.
