It s going to keep coming at us no matter what we do University of Kansas insect ecologist Orley Tay Lor said at the american Bee research conference. Experts predict that the dreaded Africani Zed bees making i hair Way North through Mexico will reach the Brownsville area at the Southern tip of Texas in the Early Spring of 1990, and possibly reach California four years later.

Villa said the bees first arrived in the Southern mex ican state of Chiapas two years ago and should arrive in Tampico Wilhm seven months. Tampico is about 280 Miles South of Brownsville. Taylor also projected the bees arrival in South Texas by Spring 1990, bul said climate distance and Lack of suitable habitat will delay their arrival in Arizona until about 1993.
