S1E6 Killer Bees

This episode delves into the alarming spread of Killer Bees, which were initially brought to South America from Africa. We explore their journey north through Central America and Mexico, and the anticipated arrival in the United States. The narrative highlights their devastating effects on Brazil and other regions they infest. We examine the danger they pose to both humans and animals when provoked, their hybridization with local bee populations, and the potential consequences for the U.S. if their advancement isn't curtailed. Notably, this episode reflects a past concern, as Killer Bees have since infiltrated the U.S. and caused fatalities.
