Killer Bees?

Question

You know killer bees kill you by stinging you but they also die themselves

why dont they just call them kamikaze bees?

Answer 1

Generally, bees (honey bees and killer bees) can only sting once. Their stinger gets stuck in the victim, and, as the bee leaves, it tears out of them causing them to die.

Wasps, hornets do not die after stinging & can sting multiple times.

Interesting fact: A killer bee sting is no more dangerous than a honey bee sting. However, honey bees are not that aggressive & only a few will get you if you bother them. Killer bees have the same amount of toxins, but hundreds of them will attack you if bothered. They can kill.

Addendum:
Both ordinary bees & killer bees have killed humans. That's why there are "bee kits."

On July 15, 1993, 82-year-old Lino Lopez became the first person to die in the U.S. from Africanized honey bee stings. He was stung more than 40 times while trying to remove a colony from a wall in an abandoned building on his ranch near Harlingen, Texas.

Arizona's first human fatality from Africanized Bees occurred in October, 1993 when 88-year-old Apache Junction woman disturbed a large Africanized honey bee colony in an abandoned building on her property and was stung numerous times.

Answer 2

I know nothing of the sort. And there is NO proof that there has ever been a death by killer bee. Only a fool terrified of things they don't understand would believe such a myth.

Not all bees, hornets and wasp loose the stinger when the sting. Not all of them sting. Some of the bite.

Answer 3

The killer bees are a blend of honey bee and African bee. Why would they be in Japan? The current problem we have here with killer bees was a result of some getting loose on our continent after a beekeeper had blended the two, the queen escaped.

Answer 4

Any bee that stings you is a "kamikaze bee."
Killer bees are more aggressive in defending their hives and territory.
They are "killer bees," because their aggressiveness means many many more will agressively pursue you and sting you, while more docile strains will only defend their immediate area.

Answer 5

Bees, Wasps, Hornets, etc. will sting you and die later on. They'll sting you because they're thinking," Hey that guy swatted at me! I guess my life is over anyway, so why not sting him?" That what I think about those bastards.
