Apis mellifera subsp. scutellata Lepeletier 1836
Description
Honeybees (Apis mellifera scutellata)
A colony of Africanised honeybees was present during July and August 1997 (and perhaps longer) in a hollow stump located approximately 2 m from a C. moreletii nest on a low-lying island in GBL. The bees aggressively defended the area surrounding the nest and one of us (TRR) together with an accompanying dog (Canis lupus familiaris) were stung repeatedly as we attempted to remove, measure, and weigh eggs at the nest. The honey bee colony was no longer present when we returned to the island in 1998 or thereafter.
