There is no obvious physical difference between Africanized honey bees and European honey bees. The only way of distinguishing is by DNA analysis.
Africanized honey bees started in Brazil and have gradually worked their way north to as far as Texas.
An Africanized honey bee is just a bee with attitude. Apart from that there are no significant physical differences between Africanized bees and Western honey bees -- in fact the only way to be sure which type of bee you have is DNA analysis. For this reason, Africanized bees are no more damaging to the environment than any other bees. In fact, all bees are essential to maintain the environment as we know it.
The common name for the Killer Bee is the Africanized Honey Bee.
Africanized honey bees (also known as killer bees) were brought to Brazil in the 1950s as an experiment to improve honey production. Some of the bees eventually escaped and interbred with local honey bees, leading to the establishment of Africanized honey bees in the Americas.

Africanized honey bees (AHB), known colloquially as "killer bees" or Africanized bees, are hybrids of the African honey bee, Apis mellifera scutellata (not A. m. adansonii; see Collet et al., 2006), with various European honey bees such as the Italian bee A. m. ligusticaand A. m. iberiensis.
Africanized honey bees also known as colloquially
No, soapy water is not an effective method to kill Africanized honey bees. It is best to contact a professional exterminator to handle the removal of Africanized honey bee infestations, as they are known to be more aggressive than other bee species.
African bees, also known as Africanized bees or "killer bees," are slightly smaller and more aggressive than honey bees. They also tend to swarm more frequently and are more defensive of their hives. Additionally, African bees have been known to pursue their target for longer distances than honey bees.
Yes, killer bees, also known as Africanized honey bees, have been reported in Texas. They are more aggressive than regular honey bees and are known to have established colonies in various parts of the state. It is important to be cautious around these bees and take necessary safety measures.
