These stories of killer bees in the news in recent years have attracted a lot of attention as the bees have made their way from South America Killer bees are reputed to be extremely aggressive in nature, although experts that their aggression may have been somewhat inflated
The killer bee is a combination of the very mild European strain of honeybee and the considerably more aggressive African bee, which was created when the African strain was imported into Brazil in
1955 The African bees were brought into Brazil because their aggression was considered an
Trang 5advantage: they were far more productive than their European counterparts in that they spent a higher percentage of their time working and continued working longer in inclement weather than did the European bees
These killer bees have been known to attack humans and animals, and some fatalities have occurred Experts point out, however, that the mixed breed known as the killer bee is actually not at all as
aggressive as the pure African bee They also point out that the attacks have a chemical cause A killer bee stings only when it has been disturbed; it is not aggressive by nature However, after a disturbed bee stings and flies away; it leaves its stinger embedded in the victim In the vicera attached to the embedded stinger is the chemical isoamyl acetate, which has an odor that attracts other bees As other bees approach the victim of the original sting, the victim tends to panic, thus disturbing other bees and causing them to sting The new stings create more of the chemical isoamyl acetate which attracts more bees and increases the panic level of the victim Killer bees tend to travel in large clusters or swarms and thus respond in large numbers to the production of isoamyl acetate

The Alaska pipeline starts at the frozen edge of the Arctic Ocean It stretches southward across the largest and northernmost state in the United States, ending at a remote ice-free seaport village nearly 800 miles from where it begins It is massive in size and extremely complicated to operate
The steel pipe crosses windswept plains and endless miles of delicate tundra that tops the frozen ground
It weaves through crooked canyons, climbs sheer mountains, plunges over rocky crags, makes its way through thick forests, and passes over or under hundreds of rivers and streams The pipe is 4 feet in diameter, and up to 2 million barrels (or 84 million gallons) of crude oil can be pumped through it daily Resting on H-shaped steel racks called "bents," long sections of the pipeline follow a zigzag course high above the frozen earth Other long sections drop out of sight beneath spongy or rocky ground and return
to the surface later on The pattern of the pipeline's up-and-down route is determined by the often harsh demands of the arctic and subarctic climate, the tortuous lay of the land, and the varied compositions of soil, rock, or permafrost (permanently frozen ground) A little more than half of the pipeline is elevated above the ground
The remainder is buried anywhere from 3 to 12 feet, depending largely upon the type of terrain and the properties of the soil
One of the largest in the world, the pipeline cost approximately $8 billion and is by far the biggest and most expensive construction project ever undertaken by private industry In fact, no single business could raise that much money, so eight major oil companies formed a consortium in order to share the costs Each company controlled oil rights to particular shares of land in the oil fields and paid into the
Trang 7pipeline-construction fund according to the size of its holdings Today, despite enormous problems of climate, supply shortages, equipment
