There are two kinds found naturally in the northern part of south africa named Scutellata (Afican Bee) and has a strong yellow lines on the abdomen .
In the southern regions of South Africa you find a different kind called Capensis (Cape bee) and has a darker look on the abdomen.
If they are found near african bee nest, cape bee will join a african bee conony and will take over the hive forcing the african colony to collape and die out. They do this by the females who lay their own species eggs, making the hatching brood less.
