Humans cut down 99% of the rainforest in Puerto Rico, and the bird species increased. And guess what? Trees literally sprout out of concrete and overrun untreated areas after just a few years, and some of the rainforest is back.

And you see, Billy! That is why man needs to cut down as much of the remaining rain forests as he can to stop these "killer" bees...XD

or you could get huge mutant bees that take over the world as the new dominate species with their greater intelligence ☺

I disagree, many groups of bees travel hundreds of miles away from their nest in search of food, space, etc. These places they stop at are automatically marked as "their" land so they protect it, it's a lot of land and people can't give it all to them.

the killer bee is so dangerous that one bee will sting you, release foul smelling liquid, and get other bees over and all of them sting you to death
