These are african bees, what we in america refer to as 'killer' bees. These bees are highly agressive and are much more likely to swarm a perceived threat, and once swarming will not stop stinging the preceived threat for potentially hours.

Elephants which are more than 10 times as big as a person with a much thicker hide are not 'paranoid' of bees. Their fear is well justified.

Just because the bee is in Africa doesn't make it a 'killer' bee.

No. 'Killer' bees are africanized European honeybees. These are just plain old African honeybees.

Yes, I remember the hype around "killer" bees coming to the US. Then the hype went away, even though the bees didn't. I think the threat is vastly overstated.
