I don't know about that, but from what I understand, they aren't
that big a deal. That is to say, they are more aggressive than
N.A. bees, and do the group defensive thing, but people as a rule
tend to give bee hives a wide bearth in any case. So, while they
may have the potential to kill, people aren't (so far) giving
them an excuse to do so.
