Beekeepers Brace for Africa nized Killer Bees Invasion
In Baton Rouge Louisiana State University researchers at the Bee Breeding and Stock Center Lab warn that Africanized killer bees may reach the United States in three to six years via Latin America. The lab identifies bees and studies mapping wing and leg measurements to distinguish Africanized from native European honeybees. Local authorities and researchers say early incursions have been found in California and Oswego New York with limited inland spread, while the farthest northern advance remains near the Central American border.
