Quite right. This is why the insect experts, such as Dr Taylor, who are studying these bees call them *Africanized* rather than African. [BTW, Dr Taylor's work is quite interesting: he has predicted the northern limit which the Africanized bees will reach in North America. It includes us here in Los Angeles, but excludes most of the rest of the US, except Texas, Arizona and New Mexico.
