The Pros And Cons Of Killer Bees

Africanized honey bees, “Killer bees”, can be some of the most dangerous animals in the world. Killer bees were created when Brazilian scientists tried to create a hybrid bee that would be better suited for the South American tropical region. It was suppose to be a hybrid between the Western honey bee and the European honey bee. I am qualified to supply you with information about this “special” kind of honey bee because I have done hours of research on the internet and reading through books to gain as much knowledge as I could about the Africanized honey bee. These “killer bees” have been spreading through South America and Central America at an average of about 200 miles a year according to the researchers at DesertUSA on their article about

This is because the scientists did not use the correct measures to safely quarantine these morphed bees. Two Brazilian scientists are behind the creation of these beasts. The only reason why these bees are relevant is because a few of them escaped and bred with the other bees in the area. Unfortunately for the scientists, the new “killer bees” bred so fast that it had escaped their control. The bees are a failed science experiment because the bees that were accidentally released into the world are now highly dangerous creatures.

The Killer bees are now intruding into the United States. The “out of sight, out of mind” policy that many Americans have is no longer in play. The killer bees are intruding from South America. This is because they were originally introduced into Brazil, due to a lack of safely containing these experimental bees. The bees are now in 5 different U.S. states and will keep spreading. The states are Texas, Arizona, New Mexico, California, and Nevada. Between these states, the bees are in over 100 different counties. Some of these counties include big cities, such as Los Angeles, Las Vegas, and Phoenix. There could be upwards of about 3 million killer bees in the United States, but thats just an estimate. These bees attack by the thousands, so there is a possibility that there is millions more than that. Thousands upon thousands of people have been effected by killer bees. over 100 people have been killed in the United States in the last 30 years because of killer bees. Thousands of people are effected by these bees because they build nests in virtually anything that they can find. Barns, houses, attics, walls, steel piping, wood, trees, and around branches are just a few of the places that they
