I'm Japanese.
Some region of Japan has a bad(?) culture that eating "bees".
Fried bee, pickled bee with soy sauce, and so on.
I'll not eat it forever, but TV prformer said, "Good taste".
Unbelievable! That has poison!

However, Killer bee is in America. It has poison, too.
Do you know person who ate it?
I want to know "can eat it?" and "what taste is it?"

And, do you know taste of this coffee?

Killer bees are nothing more than regular honeybees that display a more aggressive nature. Otherwise there is no difference between them. Eating them in small quantities would not harm you. The amount of venom in them is quite small, unless you are allergic to bee venom. And perhaps cooking them neutralizes it, I don't know.

I am not aware of anyone who eats bees. We just like the honey they produce!

The article about coffee is simply saying that when bees pollinate coffee plants, the plants produce up to 50% more coffee. It does not affect the flavor at all, it's just a matter of HOW MUCH coffee beans the plants produce.

A killer bee has the same amount of poison as a regular honey bee. The reason they are called "killer bees" is that they are more aggressive and attack in higher numbers so even though they have the same amount of poison, you get many more stings from killer bees.

The taste of the coffee I would imagine is the same as any other coffee. The bees just increase the yield of the coffee bush.

The flavor of the honey has no longer something to do with the bee. It has to do with the variety of nectar amassed, so it relies upon on what's blooming on the time the honey is harvested. The bees deliver the nectar lower back to the hive and dehydrate the nectar into honey. First, each and every of the honey bees we are speaking approximately are the eu Honey Bee (Apis mellifera). The "africanized" race (Apis mellifera scutellata) does no longer outproduce different races of honey bees (maximum elementary in the U. S. are Apis mellifera ligustica, Apis mellifera carnica, and Apis mellifera caucasica). the clarification they do no longer outproduce is via the fact behaviorally africanized bees nevertheless act like they are in the tropics. so they are going to go away their hive whilst overcrowded (referred to as swarming) or in the event that they are perturbed. The africanized honey bee does no longer practice for wintry climate, and for this reason do no longer save as lots honey as bees acclimated to less warm climates... which skill they stink at producing the 4 hundred+ lbs of honey that's a threat from the different races of Apis mellifera isn't a threat from Apis mellifera scutellata (the africanized race).
