In 1956 a Brazilian scientist imported some spec ial bees into Brazil from Africa. The African bees were the same size as ordinary bees. But they were much stronger and more dangerous. A sting from one of these bee s can kill a man of even a buffalo very quickly. The scientist imported the bees because he wanted to breed a new type of bees using the African bees and ordinary European bees. He wanted to combine the strength of the African bee with the safety of th e European bee. Unfortunately, in 1957, 26 queen bees escaped and began to breed in the jungl es of Brazil. They spread very quickly and since that time they have been moving slowly north - wards, covering 300 to 400 kilometers a year. Over 200 people have died after being stung by the killer bees, and thousands of animals have also died. By March 1 978 the killer bees had reached Venezuela and in 1980 they arrived in Panama. If they continue to move a t the same speed will reach the USA in 1988. Today scientists from many different countries are trying to find ways of stopping the killer bees. But if they cannot be stopped, the Americans, like the Brazilians, will have to learn how to live with a new a v ery dangerous visitor.
