Commercial beekeepers could go out of business if Africanized bees drive out or breed into their domestic colonies. Because honey bees provide 80 percent of the pollination required by agricultural crops, a reduction in the number of beekeepers could lead to reduced yields in apples and melons and other commodities as well as a decline in honey production. This would tend to increase the occurrence of wild feral hives of Africanized bees. Beekeepers are working closely with state and federal agencies to minimize the impacts of the Africanized bee. Your best protection against the Africanized bee is to understand how it behaves and react accordingly.
Bees are most active then.
You may find bees setting up housekeeping where you live literally overnight. Individual bees gathering pollen on flowers or masses of bees clinging together in swarms generally will not bother you. However, bees are more likely to be defensive after they have established a colony and started raising young. Listen for the sound of bees in the air. Persistent buzzing may mean a hive or swarm is nearby.
