I remember in the 70’s all the movies about the African killer bees taking over and killing us…

Global warming killed them.

I remember hearing the same thing in the 80's.
I thought I read somewhere that they crossbred with our native bee species and basically dropped the whole "killer" thing. But I'm probably wrong.

They're still around. As a species they aren't capable of expanding their range very far north because the Winters are just too cold for them. I think they have hybridized with the common Western Honeybee, and those hives can be a problem because they are much more aggressive.
ETA: I don't think they were really found in any numbers in the US until the 1990s.

I can vouch for their aggressiveness. And they don't just sting and go, they attach themselves to you. Ran into some in south Texas.

One of them died of a speedball in 1983

I’m still trying to figure what happened to a total conversion to the metric system and the end of the conventional light bulb.
