Common Name: Africanized Honey Bee (AHB), Africanized Bees, Killer Bees, Brazilian Bees ... Therefore, killer bees are not so scary. Just stay away from bee hives. The bees will "never go away" nor can they be completely exterminated. Bees are responsible for the life of our trees, flowers and the food we eat.

They are nicknamed "killer" bees not because any one sting is worse than the European kind, but rather because so many of the bees try to sting you. An average human can survive no more than 300 bee stings. A horrible total of more than 8,000 bee stings is not unusual for a killer bee attack.
