Typically, honey bees only sting when they feel that something is threatening their baby bees and honey. So, until the hive is built and full, the honey bees will seem very docile or calm. That is true of both regular European honey bees and Africanized honey bees. The only way to find out if honey bees are European or Africanized is to have a sample analyzed. But you should go ahead and have a trained pest control person remove the hive that is under construction before the bees set up house and become defensive. Q.
