Their mission: to deliver 25 tons of donated food, medical supplies and toys to relief agencies in Nicaragua.

But the Texans' growing unease is understandable: unless the bees are headed off or at least slowed down, they may reach the Texas border as early as next year. Mexican and American scientists are doing their level best to keep that from occurring. Near the narrowest part of southern Mexico, where the rugged Sierra Madre sweeps close to the coast, they have prepared a stand against the marauders, a kind of apiarian Thermopylae...
