Field Notes

Description:

This is a bit of a mystery. From what i could tell, its an Africanized honey bee. Size and coloration seem to fit the africanized bee, but this photo was taken in Chicago, and i could not find any information about these bees being found that far north. Unless i am completely wrong and this is a different species entirely
