Seriously, how do you know they are killer bees?


The person is an obvious troll; probably the same character that

Short of DNA testing, you can't tell; the Africanized honeybee is a
cross between the friendly Italians and some unpleasant Africans.
And last I heard, not at all cold-hardy, so not an issue in Northern
U.S. or the U.K.

I beleive there is a small difference in wing size/construction. So, as you
say, us mere mortals can't tell.
