Since the "killer bee" is nothing more than one of the African 
species this is hardly true.  Yes it does produce more honey 
about 5 to 9 times more than your unionised domestic bee.  Sure 
it does not like being messed with.  Learn to live with it, 
Africa does fine with it and so do those beekeepers in your 
country that have adapted.

And they pollinate chiles just fine as well.
