According to official reports, Africanized honeybees arrive in Florida in a Brazilian cargo ship in 2001. Labeled by the media as “Killer Bees” due to fetal attacks on humans, pets and live stock in recent years. The invasive bee species have inbred with many of Florida’s domestic honey bees as well as Florida’s feral honey bee populations since and are difficult to distinguish today.
Feral honey bees prefer to build their nest in a secure location such as a tree, a roof or inside a wall. But wherever the queen lands, her colony will follow, settle down and begin building their nest immediately. Sometimes feral honey bees settle into a location not well enough hidden from predators such as the Florida back bear, who will plunder any beehive not just for its honey but the protein provided by the bee larvae as well. Regardless, the bees have chosen well this time. Residing within close proximity of a large burmese python incubating her own eggs and aggressive enough to attack anyone daring to approach her lair.
This never before seen footage provides a unique inside look into the behavior of two invasive species in Florida. Feral honey bees have been know to attack and kill larger animals such as dogs and horses frequently, yet these aggressive insects tolerate the presents of a huge burmese python right next to their own beehive. The python has been incubating her eggs for almost two months when the bees decided to move in. She could leave her nest, since her young will hatch any day now. But instead she continues protecting her eggs, thought she is clearly agitated by the annoying insects. The feral honey bees tolerate the python as long as the snake remains calm. Any sudden movement from the reptile, such as striking at a potential predator will be seen as aggression. The feral honey bees will immediately attack and kill the python in case of such provocation. Killer Bees vs Python was filmed by Heiko Kiera aka Ojatro in 2016.
