AFRICANIZED HONEY BEES Africanized Honey Bees, known colloquially as "killer bees", are some hybrid varieties of the Western honey bee species, (Apis mellifera), produced originally by cross-breeding of the African honey bee A. m. scutellata, with various European honey bees such as the Italian bee A. m. liqustica and the Iberian bee A. m. iberiensis.
