Reply #46: yes the african or killer bee looks identical to the other species

[pitohui]

this is a long thread but i think i mentioned it above, you can't distinguish them from regular european honey bees by looking at them

you distinguish them by behavior, the african honey bee is the more aggressive and will attack w.out being provoked

hence the rise in insurance premiums that has put so many beekeepers out of business

i think you can be confident your attacks were the infamous killer bees
