             These stories of killer bees in the news in recent years have attracted a alot of attention as the bees have made their way from South America to North America.Killer bees are reputed to be extremely aggressive in nature,although experts say that their  aggression may have been somewhat inflated.
            The killer bee is a hybrid-or 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 advantage;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 agressive 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 aacetate,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 victim.Killer bees tend to travel in large clusters or swarms and thus respond in large numbers to the production of isoamyl acetate.

             Just two months after the flight of Apollo 10,the Apollo 11 astronouts made their historic landing on the surface of the moon.This momentous trip for humanity also provided scientists with an abundance of material for study;from rock and soil samples brought back from the Moon,scientists have been able to determine much about the composition of the Moon as well as to draw inferences about the development of the Moon from its composition.               The Moon soil that came back on Apollo 11 contains small bits of rock and glass which were probably ground from larger rocks when meteors impacted with the surface of the Moon.The bits of glass are spherical in shape and constitute approximately half of the Moon soil.Scientists found no trace of animal or plant life in this soil.               In addition to the Moon soil,astronauts gathered two basic types of rocks from the surface of the Moon:basalt and breccia.Basalt is a cooled and hardened volcanic lava common to the E

             During the heyday of the railroads,when Ameria's rail system provided the bulk of the country's passenger and freight transportation,various types of railroad cars were in servive to accomplish the varied tasks handled by the railroads.One type of car that was not available for public use prior to the civil War,however,was a sleeping car,ideas for sleeping cars abounded at the time, but these ideas were unworkable.It unfortunately took the death of a president to make the sleeping car a viable reality.               Cabinet-maker George M.Pullman had recognized the demand for sleeping cars and had worked on developing experimental models of sleeping cars in the decade leading up to the Civil War.However,in spite of the fact that he had made successful test runs on the chicago and Alton Railroads with his models,he was unable to sell his idea because his models were too wide and too high for existing train stations and bridges.In 1863,after spending time working as

         Today ,the most universally known style of both men and women is jeans;these trousers are worn throuhout the world on a variety of occasions and in diverse situations.Also called levis or denims,jeans have an interesting history,one that is intermixed with the derivation of the words jeans,denims,and levis.               The word jeans is derived from the name of the place where a similar style of plants developed.In the sixteenth century,sailors from Genoa,Italy,wore a rather unique type of cotton trousers.In the French language,the word for the city of Genoa and for the people from that city is Genes;this name became attached to the specific style of pants worn by the sailors from this city and developed into the word jeans that today describes the descendents of the Genovese sailors' cotton pants.               Similar to the word jeans,the word denim is also derived from a place name.In the seventeenth century,French tailors began making trousers out of a specialized t
