Killer bees are also dangerous because of their sting. While most bees take up to 30 seconds to attack, killer bees sting in just 3 seconds. Their venom is no stronger than a regular bee's, but when one killer bee stings, others follow. With up to 80,000 members in a colony, victims are quickly overwhelmed so many stings in such
a short time can cause allergic reactions. Victims enter a state of shock, lose blood pressure, and in many cases, die
A final reason why "Killer" has been added to their name is the unfortunate number of deaths they have caused Experts estimate that the Africanized honeybee
moves at a rate of about 200 miles each year. As the bees claim new territory, they claim new victims as well. More than 1000 people have been stung to death in
South and Central America. There have been rising numbers of attacks in Mexico and a handful in the United States. Once a swarm sets sights on a victim, it is very
difficult for the victim to escape Once attacked, it is very difficult to survive
Thankfully, there has been no killer bee invasion as some once predicted. Although there is no need for panic, the threat of the killer bee is real and should be taken
seriously, it is good practice to call a professional to remove beehives in your area. If you are stung multiple times by any insect, you should always seek medical
attention. You may not be expert enough to tell the difference between a killer bee and a loss dangerous one, so be smart. It is better to be safe than sorry
