00:00In 1856, a Brazilian biologist wanted to make Brazil the world's honey capital, so he captured
00:07aggressive queen bees in Africa and bred them with European honeybees, hoping they'd produce
00:11honey faster.
00:12They did.
00:13By accident, his experimental bees escaped.
00:16The new species attacked in swarms, able to chase humans for a quarter mile.
00:20Then the killer bees spread through the Americas, wreaking havoc.
00:23These bees are stronger, better honey producers, and can help save our planet.
