Africanized bees tighten Texas quarantine reach
The Africanized killer bee invasion expands as Walker County becomes the 140th Texas county under a state quarantine.

Since 1990 four people have died in Texas from bee encounters and hundreds were stung while nearly 100 animals perished. Scientists question how far north the bees can survive given food supply and climate conditions.
