Best Answer

Fire ants are from South America and are native to the floodplains of the Paraguay River in Brazil, Paraguay and Northern Argentina. They entered the southern United States in the 1930s, probably in soil used as ship ballast, and have been spreading across the US ever since.

Why are bees called killer bees?

They aren't. There is a hybrid strain of honey bee which is properly called Africanised bees, and they tend to be more aggressive than normal honey bees. They are only found in South America, Central America and southern states of the United States. These Africanised bees have been known to attack people and livestock for no apparent reason and some people have then died from multiple stings. The media picked up on this and nicknamed them 'killer bees'.


What were some types bees popular with the early colonists?

There were no honey bees (Apis Mellifera) living naturally in North America or Australia so the early colonists brought bees with them to produce honey.


Why killer bees were introduced into America?

Africanised bees (to give them their proper name) started out in South America about 60 years ago when bees being used in a laboratory experiment were accidentally released. Their offspring have slowly migrated northwards since then and have now reached the southern states of the United States.
