Technically speaking, they are not African bees but Brazilian bees, i.e. a
hybrid produced as a result of the accidental release of some African queens.
(hmm... good name for a movie)  None of these bees are more than 50% African.

Principal differences from European bees is a larger honey sac, greater
honey productivity, a tendency to kill the queen when the hive is disturbed
(makes beekeeping more difficult), and a tendency to send swarms of defenders
against an intruder.

Virtually all deaths caused by the stings of European honeybees are the
result of an allergic reaction.  There are a small number of people who
are so allergic they can die from a single sting.  Deaths in Africa and
South America, however, are often caused by the swarming behavior.  Someone
who accidently upsets a beehive typically gets hundreds of bee stings,
which can be lethal.
