It doesn't look like killer bees are good for crafting a bee box out of them. They don't turn neutral either, so I wonder how I could put captured killer bees to use without getting killed in the process.

There are a couple of ways to deal with killer bees without losing significant health and still getting the resources that come from killing them:
First, the easiest way to defeat Killer Bees is to use a Bug Net. Using the net will turn the Bee into an item in your inventory. Killer Bees caught this way can't be used to make bee mines or bee boxes. What you can do is murder it without removing it from your inventory. The way to do this is to mouse over it. You will see the "Murder" command pop up once you do so. Click the right mouse button and it will kill the bee without removing it from your inventory. This will result in a crafting material like a stinger or honey sitting in the place where it used to be in your inventory. This way, you can use the bee for certain crafting recipes.
Second, you could craft a bee catchers helmet. When wearing it, you will take minimal damage from killer bees so even if they manage to hit you a couple of times before you kill it, it wouldn't be a serious blow to your health. Once it dies it will drop a crafting object that can be used in recipes.
