Ordinary native honey bees, or invasive African bees? Ordinary bees don’t usually behave that way, even if their hive is disturbed.

definitely African bees.

I know a guy in Brazil whose bull was swarmed and killed by the bees there (which are African)

I ran into a hollow log with honey bees in it a couple of years ago while mowing.

Had hundreds of honey bees cover me but I never got stung.

I get a lot of bumble bees coming out of the ground and ground hornets.

The red wasp and yellow jackets in the brush are even worse.

Got stung 3 times yesterday, once on my left hand and twice on my right hand, by red wasp while picking my okra.

Hands are still swollen.
