Why are bees called killer bees?

They aren't. There is a hybrid strain of honey bee which is properly called Africanised bees, and they tend to be more aggressive than normal honey bees. They are only found in South America, Central America and southern states of the United States. These Africanised bees have been known to attack people and livestock for no apparent reason and some people have then died from multiple stings. The media picked up on this and nicknamed them 'killer bees'.


Have killer bees been around for long?

Africanized honey bees -- called 'killer bees' by Hollywood and the more sensationalist media -- are the result of some Tanzanian honey bee queens which escaped from a research establishment in Brazil in 1957 and mated with local drones. They formed feral (wild) colonies which have slowly spread southwards to the limits of tropical South America and northwards to the southernmost states of the US. They are unlikely to spread too much further because they don't tolerate cold winters.
