| | Bee Butts: Some of the color variations in honeybees (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19) |
 | | When the Italian bee became available, beekeepers switched en masse, as this was a new experience for them to have a gentle bee (one that has been kept for thousands of years). |
 | | Africanized bees are now entering the USA in the Southwest, though the colors are not usually a distinguishable from Italian. |
 | | It is customary to badmouth the Africanized bee as a "killer bee." However, each race of bee has its good and bad points, and there are large variations even within relatively pure races. |
