AFRICANIZED HONEY BEES FOUND IN ARIZONA
Keyword(s):
Washington, DC, July 13, 1993—Africanized honey bees have been found in Arizona, the second state where the "killer bees" have migrated into this country, according to the Agriculture Department. A swarm was found in a state Department of Agriculture trap 2 miles north of Sasabe, AZ. The bees were destroyed. The fierce and unmanageable bees are descendants of honey bees imported from Africa to Brazil in 1956. They have been spreading north and south from Brazil since their release in 1957. They tend to sting with less provocation and in greater numbers than other honey bees. They migrated for the first time into the United States in 1990, near Hildago, TX, in the Rio Grande Valley. They have also entered the country on ships.
