Apis Mellifera Scutellata is a subspecies of the honeybee that is commonly found in sub-Saharan Africa. It is known for its aggressive behavior and is often referred to as the "African honeybee" or "killer bee." However, there are several other synonyms for this subspecies that are less well-known. Some of these alternative names include the Cape bee, Tanzanian bee, Congo bee, and Kruger bee, among others. Despite their intimidating reputation, African honeybees are important pollinators and contribute significantly to the global honey industry. While they require careful management to prevent attacks on humans, these bees play an essential role in maintaining biodiversity and supporting agricultural production in their native habitats.
