African honey bees are a subspecies of the honey bee known for their adaptability and resilience. They are primarily found in Africa but have also spread to other regions, including parts of the Americas. These bees are smaller than their European counterparts and are recognized for their aggressive behavior when defending their hives. These bees play a crucial role in pollination, contributing to the health of ecosystems and agriculture. Their ability to thrive in diverse environments makes them important for maintaining biodiversity. However, their aggressive nature can pose challenges for beekeepers and those working near their habitats.
