Brazilian Coffee beans Story

In Brazil, South America, in 1956, scientists introduced dozens of killer bees from Africa, which were accidentally released from the hive. Like opening Pandora's box, a disaster befell the whole of Brazil.

The swarm flew into the jungles of Brazil, mated with local bees, produced a new generation of bees that were more ferocious than African bees, and quickly multiplied to 1 billion. Killer bees have caused countless disasters over the decades. Swarms of bees often fall from the sky into city streets to attack pedestrians, and so far thousands of people have been killed by bee stings.

The Brazilian government and people have taken various measures to eliminate killer bees, but with little success. However, it was later found that the bees not only brought disasters, but also brought huge economic benefits to Brazil. Bees have an amazing ability to produce honey. As a result, beekeepers in Brazil have been lifted out of poverty and the country has become one of the four largest honey producers in the world.

In people's impression, killer bee and coffee are two unrelated concepts. Surprisingly, coffee pollinated by killer bees is particularly fragrant and delicious, and the quality of Brazilian coffee has been greatly improved.

On the other hand, due to the lack of natural predators, the population of killer bees is increasing, and it is spreading across the arid desert to the whole of America.

People are beginning to worry about whether this momentum, if unchecked, will lead to a new and bigger disaster.

The arrival of African bees has changed the quiet life of Brazilians. The bittersweet reality has kept Brazilians in happiness and unease for a long time until they find a panacea to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages.

From the general situation of human survival, life is always in change, the new Pandora's box has been opened one after another, good and bad depend on each other, like a double-edged sword. Is it to give up the fragrance of coffee beans, or to live in fear of killer bees? Brazilians are making a choice. And the process of everyone's life is also the process of making choices on an endless stream of similar problems.
