Africanized honey bees (AHB)—also called "killer bees" became established in Texas in 1990 and are spreading to other southern states. AHB entered southern California in 1994 and are now established throughout southern California and in the southern end of the San Joaquin Valley. Although its "killer" reputation has been greatly exaggerated, the presence of AHB will increase the chances of people being stung. This fact sheet provides useful information about AHB and how taking certain precautions can lower the risk of being injured by this new insect in our environment.
