Ian - I do not see the difference as the "killer bees" to which you
refer, trace their origins back to some hives of bees that were imported
from Africa to a University in Brazil. As I understand it, someone
accidentally left a queen excluder screen off the entrance and
a swarm issued forth .......................and they were off & running !
