CONCORD (KRON) — Those aggressive bees in Concord that killed two dogs and stung several others are not Africanized killer bees, according to DNA tests done by the state department of food and agriculture.

Officials tested seven bees in the hive and found they are just regular honey bees. You may remember the department removed the hive from a beekeeper’s property on May 14.
