The Africanized honey bee. Euorpean honey bees were breed with African honey bees, creating a hybrid bee known as the Africanized honey bee, or killer bee.
Africanized honey bees started in Brazil and have gradually worked their way north to as far as Texas.
In sufficient quantities soapy water will kill any bee because it will drown. It makes no difference whether they are africanized or not. There has been a lot of fear drummed up about africanized bees by the sensationalist media. They look no different from a European honey bee and their sting is no worse. The problem is they are far more defensive and sting more readily.
Africanized honey bees (also known as killer bees) were brought to Brazil in the 1950s as an experiment to improve honey production. Some of the bees eventually escaped and interbred with local honey bees, leading to the establishment of Africanized honey bees in the Americas.
Africanized honey bees do not hibernate. They remain active and forage for food throughout the year, even in colder temperatures. They may slow down their activity during the winter months, but they do not enter a true hibernation state.
They are not native to anywhere, they are the result of a cross between Tanzanian honey bee queens that escaped from a research establishment in Brazil and local drones.

There is no obvious physical difference between Africanized honey bees and European honey bees. The only way of distinguishing is by DNA analysis.
I hope that that bee is not an Africanized honey bee.

They are no longer native to America do to the over infestation of Verona mites and also the africanized subspecies. Honey bees are only found in the backyards of bee keepers.
No. All honey tastes the same.
Africanized honey bee ( also known as killer bee ), kills 40 people every year.

An Africanized honey bee is just a bee with attitude. Apart from that there are no significant physical differences between Africanized bees and Western honey bees -- in fact the only way to be sure which type of bee you have is DNA analysis. For this reason, Africanized bees are no more damaging to the environment than any other bees. In fact, all bees are essential to maintain the environment as we know it.
Africanized bees take over a hive. They mate and incorporate many of their characteristics into the new hive.
