Do you know why killer bees are called killer bees? This video will enlighten your kids about the diet, behaviors, and habitat of the Africanized honey bee. That's right! Killer bees are also known as Africanized honey bees. This is because the ancestors from which they get their aggression are from Africa. (African honey bees are an especially hostile species.)

Africanized honey bees, though, actually have a mix of both African and European bee genes. They are known for their adaptability to hot climates and their ability to thrive in different environments. Those traits make them attractive to scientists who want to study how animals adapt to new homes.

Scientists gave these insects the nickname "killer" bees because of their aggressive behavior when it comes to defending their nests. And because killer bees have killed some humans! They are famous for being fast fliers and quick to protect their nests. When threatened, they form a swarm and chase away the intruders. Scientists call this behavior aggressive defense. It's like having a neighborhood watch that's always on high alert! When they swarm, their buzzing can be quite loud, which is their way of warning others to stay away.
