Mark Winston encourages the spread of sound information about the Africanized bee by providing a concise, factual introduction to its biology… As a unified account of the biology and impact of the Africanized bee, the book must be reckoned with by anyone involved with the immigration of this insect into the United States.
-- Thomas D. Seeley Nature

Mark Winston has written an excellent introduction to these bees… It manages to include a history of the Africanized bee since its debut in Brazil in 1957, a good review of the scientific literature, and a clear prescription of what Winston thinks beekeepers, politicians and even journalists ought to do to adjust to their presence.

Killer Bees is the best-written book on bees since Maurice Maeterlinck’s The Life of the Bee (1901)… I not only recommend this very well written book but believe it to be essential in the library of all bee scientists.
-- Warwick Kerr Times Literary Supplement

Now here is a book that is both fun to read and accurately informative on the history and current knowledge of Africanized honey bees… I recommend this book to beekeepers, students and researchers in bee biology, and also to students in general because of its treasury of information handled in such a readable fashion.
