| | Entomology - Africanized Honey Bee Information In Brief |
| | Africanized Honey Bees are the same species as the familiar European honey bees (EHB) used to produce honey and pollinate crops, but a different subspecies. | | | They are called "Africanized Honey Bees" (abbreviated AHB) because they are the result of interbreeding between European bees and bees from Africa inadvertently released in Brazil in the 1950's. | | | After an area is well colonized, though, it is assumed that all honey bees not under the care of a beekeeper should be treated as Africanized bees. |

| | About Africanized Honey Bees |
| | The Africanized Honey Bee, popularly known as the "killer bee," is moving into South Texas and the southern United States. | | | Individual bees gathering pollen on flowers or masses of bees clinging together in swarms generally will not bother you. | | | Because Honey Bees provide 80 percent of the pollination required by agricultural crops, a reduction in the number of beekeepers could lead to reduced yields in melons and other commodities as well as a decline in honey production. |
