Africanized honey bees are larger than domestic bees and therefore easy to identify. Africanized honey bees are a purebred race of bees from Africa. Bees are robust bodied, hairy insects with four wings. They usually are dark with some coloring such as yellow. Their hind legs are used to carry pollen.
Bees feed on nectar and pollen from flowers.
Africanized honey bees are slightly smaller than the regular honey bee, but the bees look so much alike that only lab analysis can tell them apart. Wasps are slender with a thick waist. Their hind legs are narrow. Yellow jackets are marked with black and yellow. They prefer to nest in the ground but can be found in wall voids and similar places.
