In celebration of World Bee Day, Carlos Aurelio Medina Flores, a researcher at UAZ, urged the public to exercise caution around bee swarms and avoid unnecessary approaches. He noted that the predominant species in Zacatecas is the honeybee (Apis mellifera), which has a high degree of Africanized genetics. While their defensive behavior increases in spring and fall, these bees do not attack unless provoked, typically in defense of their colony. Medina Flores explained that stimuli such as loud noises, vibrations, strong odors, or sudden movements can trigger their aggression.
