Killer
Bees
If you suspect
killer bees have taken up residence nearby it is recommended
that you bring pets inside and contact All Valley Honey
& Bee to remove the bees. Killer bees will attack
dogs, cats, cattle, horses and other livestock. Precautionary
measures include sealing any external places in the home
where bees might find entry and nest, such as roof vents,
cracks, crevices and holes in the walls and eaves of your
home.

Killer
bees look virtually identical to the common honey bee,
which are not native to the United States. Honey bees
where first imported from Europe by settlers to produce
honey. European honey bees are docile, more discriminating
than killer bees about where they choose make their
hives, and produce honey. The sting from a killer bee
produces the same venom as a common honey bee. The only
difference is killer bees are attack in higher numbers
and with less provocation.
Easily agitating and aggressive, Killer bees earned
their name by these characteristics of killing victims
by overpowering them with sheer numbers and hundreds
of stings. Something as simple as a vibration, noise,
or even the smell of fresh cut lawn to set off a swarm
of killer bees, unlike your common honey bee. Once agitated,
killer bees can chase a fleeing victim. These Killer
Bees will even swarm on top of the water if the victim
jumps into a lake or pool, waiting for the victim to
come up for air. Killer bees will kill both animals
and people alike.
Warwick Estevam Kerr a Brazilian scientist was tasked
with discovering why the European honey bees in South
America were not producing adequately, in 1956. Kerr
crossbred bees from tropical Africa, known for being
aggressive, with European honey bees. The new strain
called Africanized bees, escaped before a selection
process could be completed that would have curbed the
aggressive nature of the new strain.
The first migration of killer bees to arrive in the
United States was in Hidalgo, Texas in October 1990.
For 5 years they continued their colonizing throughout
southern portions of the United States. Some experts
believe they could eventually colonize all the way north
into Canada. In Brownsville, Texas, May 1991 was the
first human attack in the United States. The first human
fatality in the United States was in Harlingen Texas,
in July 1993.
If attacked by killer bees experts recommend running
and covering your head and face which are the most attacked
body parts. Find shelter in a building or car. A bee
can only sting once, then it dies, but the stingers
left in the skin contain sacs that will continue to
pump venom, so remove stingers promptly and seek medical
attention.
