The southernmost southwestern United States of America is how far north the Africanized killer bees have made it as of 2004.

The insects in question (hybrid Apis mellifera) seems to travel at a rate of 200+ miles (321.87 kilometers) northward per year since populations introduced into Brazil in 1956 escaped in 1957.
