A new bee swarm of bees, or bees building a hive, are not likely to sting. This is because they’re busy building their hive, and don’t have much honey or young to protect. This is true of both European honey bees and killer bees. Often people tell me “The bees were always friendly, but they’ve become very aggressive lately.” There can be a few reasons for this but the common one is that the hive is established and now they are protecting it. Just because bees exhibit a friendly nature unfortunately does not mean they are friendly bees. If you need honeybee removal, here is a map of the spread of africanized bees provided by the USDA. This will help you africanized bees have reached your state.
