The Killer Bee

The Killer Bee, also known as the Africanized Honey Bee, is a tiny but mighty creature! Often yellow and brown in color, this bee is small in size -- about 1.9 cm, but it's more aggressive than your regular honey bee! Don't let its size fool you; it aggressively protects its hive with a sting more potent than that of a regular honey bee. These flying marvels are fantastic pollinators and make up a buzzing set of our ecosystem.
