In 1956 a Brazillian scientist imported some special bees Brazil from Africa. the Africa bees were same size a ordinary bees. But they were much stronger and more dagerous. A sting from one of these bees can kill a man or even a buffalo very quickly. The scientist imported the because he wanted to breed anew type of the bees using the African bees and ordinary European bees, He want to combine the strength of African with the safety of the European bees. Unfortunately in 1957 ,26 queen bees escaped and began to breed in the jungles of Brazil.
They spread very quickly and since that time they have been moving slowly northwards,covering 300 to 400 kilometers year, over 200 people have died after being stung by the killer bees, and thousand of animals have also died. Buy march 1978 the killer bees reached Venezuelan and in 1980 they arrived in Panama. If they continued to move at the same speed they would reach the USA in 1988.
Today scientist from amny different countries are trying to find ways of the kille bees, but if they cannot be stopped , the Americans like the brazilians, will have to learn how to live with new dangerous visitors.
