Killer Bees

This action would be counter-productive.

The East African lowland honey bee was first introduced to Africanized honey bees are typically much more defensive than other varieties of honey bees, and react to disturbances faster than European honey bees.

mated) European queens can be used to maintain a hive's European genetics and behavior. Cette substitution peut tenir suffisamment longtemps pour tromper ses adversaires et même les ninjas de son propre village.

The aggressive Africanized drones out-compete European drones for a newly developed queen of such a hive, ultimately resulting in hybridization of the existing colony.

News reports of mass stinging attacks will promote concern and in some cases panic and anxiety, and cause citizens to demand responsible agencies and organizations to take action to help ensure their safety.

Requeening, a term for swapping out the old queen with a new, already fertilized one, can reduce hybridization in apiaries. Honey bees that are genetically inclined towards resources high in sucrose like concentrated nectar will not be able to sustain themselves in harsher environments. Although Africanized honey bees do not actively search for humans to attack, they are more dangerous because they are more easily provoked, quicker to attack in greater numbers, and then pursue the perceived threat farther, While studies have shown that Africanized honey bees can infiltrate European honey bee colonies and then kill and replace their queen (thus usurping the hive), this is less common than other methods. Africanized honey bees begin foraging at young ages and harvest a greater quantity of pollen with respect to their European counterparts (Honey bee sensitivity to different concentrations of sucrose is determined by a reflex known as the proboscis extension response or PER. Killer beesare more properly called African honey bees (AHBs), or sometimes Africanized honey bees. So what are killer bees?

The killer bee’s ancestors live throughout Africa, south of the Sahara Desert. "Africanized honey bee" is considered a more descriptive term in part because their behavior is increased defensiveness compared to European honey bees that can exhibit similar defensive behaviors when disturbed.The sting of the Africanized honey bee is no more potent than any other variety of honey bee, and although they are similar in appearance to European honey bees, they tend to be slightly smaller and darker in color. As of the early 1600s, the insect was introduced to North America, with subsequent introductions of other European subspecies 200 years later.There are two lineages of the East African lowland subspecies (A newer publication shows the genetic admixture of the Africanized honey bees in Brazil. This is not necessarily a severe loss in tropical climates where plants bloom all year, but in more temperate climates it can leave the colony with not enough stores to survive the winter. In a study conducted in Arizona in 2004 it was observed that swarms of Africanized honey bees could take over weakened European honey bee hives by invading the hive, then killing the European queen and establishing their own African honey bees abscond (abandon the hive and any food store to start over in a new location) more readily than European honeybees.

"Killer bee" is a term frequently used in media such as movies that portray aggressive behavior or actively seeking to attack humans.

Although the native East African lowland honey bees (One of the problems with this test is that there are other subspecies, such as Currently testing techniques have moved away from external measurements to The western honey bee is native to the continents of Europe, Asia, and Africa.

The noted PER to low sucrose concentration in Africanized honey bees may be a result of selective pressure in times of scarcity when their survival depends on their attraction to low quality resources.The popular term "killer bee" has only limited scientific meaning today because there is no generally accepted fraction of genetic contribution used to establish a cut-off. Studies have consistently shown that Africanized drones are more numerous, stronger and faster than their European cousins and are therefore able to out-compete them during these mating flights.
