The Africanized bees are a little smaller, but that is not something that can be determined without precise measurements. Ha!  For me there are only two specific ways to ID Africanized bees. DNA testing and the "Kick" test. "Kick" test is you kick the hive and if the bees come out in a solid cloud like in cartoons and attack you up to about a mile away, they are Africanized. European bees usually only attack in small numbers and don't chase for great distances. Africanized bees stay mad all day until the sun goes down. Back to the swarm. Africanized or European bees in the swarm cluster are usually not aggressive. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk</blockquote>
