Over the years, the media has wrongfully labeled feral honey bee as dangerous “Killer Bees”, which caused severe misunderstandings and leading to the killing of many peaceful bees colonies. The question remains: what happen to the actual killer bees?
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. Florida’s Feral Honey Bees was filmed by Heiko Kiera aka Ojatro in South Florida 2017.
