Yet other dangerous insect did not come from nature but rather was born out of a man's endeavor to produce a good version of the bee. African honeybees, good known as the killer bees, were brought from Africa to Brazil in 1956 to breed a good honeybee. Unfortunately, that endeavor failed and the bees at last escaped. They have killed 1000 population as they moved towards the northern part of Central America. These bees do not assault one by one. Instead, they assault their victims in swarms, thus delivering a very painful death.

Unlike the bees, however, a wasp can repeatedly sting its victim. These stings can be fatal, especially to those with an adverse reaction to the sting. They are also one of the important causes of death, especially during the summer season.
