    KILLER BEES
    October 15, 1990 - Texas, U.S.A.

    Invasion of the U.S. by killer bees began when they spread up from Mexico into the first state to be affected, Texas. Killer bees arrived at the southern tip of Texas, in the city of Hidalgo. Because of their more intense defensive swarming behavior, these non-native bees earned the name "killer bee" in the media. Arizona was the second state to be invaded, less than three years after the invasion began in Texas. Since the 1950s, the bees had extended their range northward through Central America. Their original source was from cross-breeding with tropical African bees imported into Brazil for experimental work.

    Myth: Staring at a computer screen all day is harmful to the eyes. Fact: Spending the day staring at a screen can tire or strain your eyes, but it will not hurt them. Make sure lighting doesn't create a glare on your screen. When spending long periods at your keyboard, take a break now and then to rest your eyes to reduce fatigue. Also, don't forget to blink.
