Africanized Honey Bees

At the bottom of this page we have several useful items that you can down load to help educate yourself and others about the Africanized Honey Bee.

As of May 2010 there are no Africanized Honey Bees in Georgia.

Map updated July 2009

Even though there are no AHBs in Georgia they are expected to arrive in the southern part of the state within the next two or three years. The Georgia Beekeepers Association, the Georgia Department of Agriculture, and the University of Georgia have assembled the information at the bottom of this page so you can learn more about the AHB. You can also visit our AHB FAQ's page.

There is an Africanized Honey Bee Advisory Committee that tours the state, providing information to the general public, beekeepers and members of the public safety community. In order to request a visit to your community please contact.
