Killer Bees

Africanized honeybees were created when some African honeybees escaped a research area in Brazil. They then bred with local European honeybees, and their offspring inherited some pretty scary traits. Now these killer bees have migrated to the United States, and readers may even encounter them! Information about the aggressive nature of these stinging creatures can help readers stay safe if they find themselves near a hive. Full-color photographs show swarming behavior and what venomous stingers look like up close, since it's ill advised for readers to get near them in real life!
