Over 90% of wild bees in Arizona are Africanized honey bees, most commonly known as killer bees. They nest in various places, such as hollow trees, porches, walls, attics, sheds, garbage containers, utility boxes, and many more locations. This species got its nickname due to its aggressive nature. These bees are easily provoked and disturbed; they swarm rapidly, attack in large groups, and chase their target for long distances, making them lethal.
Another common bee type in Arizona is the honey bee. Even though they have venomous barbed stingers, they’re not nearly as aggressive as the Africanized honey bee. Perhaps the most menacing feature of this species is that it closely resembles the killer bee. The only reason they may swarm to attack people is when they perceive a threat to their beehive, which is why getting too close is ill-advised.

How to identify Bees
Honey bees can have different appearances, depending on the region where they live. Most commonly, a honey bee has black stripes with bands of brown and amber hairs, but some of them can look almost entirely black. As for their sizes, honey bees are usually about one-half to three-quarters of an inch long, and their body is oval-shaped. They generally build their nests in tree crevices but can also be found in chimneys or attics.
Considering how honey bees look, it can be almost impossible to tell them apart from the Africanized bee. The only way to differentiate the two species is to pay a closer look at their size. Namely, the killer bee is about 10% smaller than the honey bee, but the difference is nearly undetectable without taking specific measurements. A more practical way of identifying the killer bee is to look for signs of aggressive behavior, which is far less common among the honey bee.
The importance of treating your Bee Problem immediately
There are a couple of reasons why addressing a bee problem is beneficial. First, removing bees from the house and proximity lowers the chance of being stung by one. Not only are the killer bees a dire threat, but honeybees can also inflict a lot of pain and cause a lot of harm. In particular, if a honey bee stings an allergic person, the victim can experience breathing difficulties, vomiting, abdominal pain, and many other severe reactions.
In addition to the harm caused by stinging, bees can compromise many structures when building nests in ceilings and wall gaps. As their nests grow in size, the presence of beeswax and honey can cause sagging or staining to the wall. Left unchecked, the nests can take a toll on the structure supporting them and weaken it significantly. Therefore, hiring a bee removal specialist can help prevent bodily harm and damage to components inside the house.
