Fourth: Tell us where such bees are located and where you are.

Might I suggest a camera.
A _really good_ beesuit may be of some help too...
A compact/bridge/dSLR with live view would be best, as trying to use a
viewfinder with a veil in the way would probably start at troublesome and
get worse from there. (I haven't seen many fully kitted out beekeepers
with SLRs)
Also take into account the gloves you'll probably be wearing (anything up
to thick leather gauntlets w/gusset, and on the heavy side of that), when
it comes to using the camera.
All the above is predicated on their being as... /interesting/ as they're
made out to be, as I'm only (somewhat) familliar with British Honeybees,
and only know abot the Africanised sort from their reputation.

First: find an active hive of killer bees
Second: Strip down to your skivvies (bees do not like the colour of your
clothes)
Third: Whack the hive several times with a stick (like you are hitting a
home run)
Fourth: The bees will come out to investigate (when you see them get as
close as you can and take all the pictures you want)

WACO - We are all here, because we are not all there.
Finding the hive is hardest. And you don't have to whack it at all:
Stand close and yell at the entrance, then stick finger in.

Little cameras are not any good. even the large cameras have small buttons.
Sometims cameras have to be modified for large astronaut gloves.

To give your work that "documentary" feel, just cut a hole in the side of
the hive and stick in the lens. Use a higher ISO setting as the inside is
quite dark, and the bees move rather quickly...

Isabella Mary Mayton (known to the world a "Mrs Beeton") started out
her recipe for jugged hare with "First, catch your hare".
In your case, first catch your killer bee. Then worry about getting
it to pose.

Then use "Clone the drone" tool in photoshop to make the singular bee
into a real swarm.....

Executive Summary:
1. Get naked.
2. Repeatedly poke their hive with a very short stick.

You're right. The OP should have been crossposted to

You must dress like a black spider:
http://www.goodbyecitylife.com/bees/beeenemies.htm
You must use only Nikon equipment (Bees hate Canon and Sony and Olympus
....)
You must carry an anaphylactic shot kit.
You must be accompanied by an adult.

First you need to locate them, and finding where they've recently
been is a good first step. This will get you started in the right
direction. The rest is up to you.

Southern Utah apparently.
Better still use your penis, apparently snake venom acts like viagra
perhaps bee stings do too, be the first to find out :-)

Camera, preferably one with a macro lens. You may also want a macro
lighting system. You will get better results if you work with a
biologist or beekeeper who knows where they are found, how to identify
them, and what their habits are. I might suggest Central America, where
Africanized hybrid bees are preferred by beekeepers because of their
greater productivity.
As of February 2009 the African hybridized bee has been found as far
north as southern Utah. Or you could just go to Tanzania and find
African bees that have not been hybridized. If you are afraid of the
bees, talk to beekeepers that have been working with gentler strains in
an effort to breed the aggressiveness out of the hybrid. Check with
Texas A&M University, which has been studying the bees in the United
States.

Canon MP-E65 macro lens and MT-24EX twin flash, set magnification
to about 2x, creep up to about 80mm from one, click the shutter
and enjoy the last photo you ever took... :)

Go to a hive and when they come out, breath heavily as they like C02.
Silly boy.
The unrelated group is his trophy case.
When you reply to it, you are on display with all the other troll bait.
Er, that's why I deleted it.....
