Yeap antdude is right , they tried to cross breed to diffrent species of honey bee . The reason was so they would produce more honey . But the resuilts were bad , the bees are highly aggresive and attack for no reason also they are extremly bad for the uk bee keepers if they get over here as they will mate with out local honey bees.

All over the world, well, yeah, but you can´t keep lets say some bees from azia back here. As bees need to fly out and gather food ´n´stuff. And this would mean that some alien species would interact with local ones. I guess we don´t want this, right?

I did thought that Europe was dominated by one or maybe few bee species... Dunno, some Apis domestica, or something. Anyway, how many species exist in Europe? And how do they differ?

[adam james]

I dont know how many bees are in euope i just know of several kinds of bumble bees and the honey bees im gonna be keeping .

[kashmir79]

i love the word/name 'Bumble Bee' it just sings in my head !

[JimmyVe]

killer bees

Yes i heard of that also. Scarry if you ask me.

Its a bit of an urban legend, 'american killer bees'...they are actually African 'killer' bees, the african version of the honey bee, that are allot more aggresive than ours, they arnt deadly individually, but like Fire Ants, they secret pheramones when they sting which triggers instant swarming attacks, so can be very dangerous if you are near the hive!
