The africanized honey bee raises its young just like any other bee raises its young. The main differences between the africanized honey bee and the other honey bees are 1. The africanized bees attack as swarms, not as an individual bee. If you get a bee angry, the entire hive might sting you. A single allergy pill can usually make one bee sting go down. Stings by an entire hive of bees make require treatment in an intensive care unit of a hospital if you make it there alive. 2. Hives tend to split up frequently. Africanized bees can not be raised profitably because it is difficult go get enough of them in one hive to produce a large amount of honey. And 3. They like their hives underground. It is difficult to find them.
First, they make posters and publicity for a big africanized honeybee party, usually not on weekdays though. Then they prepare the playground with ornaments of various colours, representing their most favourite flowers. After, they put their equivalent of ecstasy in the honey that is meant to be consumed at the event. Finally, they welcome their friends at the party and let the pheromones (and what is commonly called gangsta bizz - various noises to which the bees are trivially accustomed) do their job.

An Africanized honey bee is just a bee with attitude.

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.
How do AHB take over EHB hives?
It was hoped the much greater numbers of the European honey bee would swamp out the Africanized honey bee as they naturally cross-bred. The problem has turned out to be that the Africanized honey bee queen has a very slightly shorter pupation period than the European honey bee queen, so she tends to emerge first. A newly-emerged queen will try to kill all the other developing queens before they emerge. This slight imbalance means the Africanized bee has a slight advantage and this is why hives can become Africanized as the queens are replaced.
