Editor's Note
Beefed up scare film about what could happen if 22 million African killer bees crossed the border into the United States. Bee-proof costumes were designed for shots using live bees. Academy Award Nominations: Best Costume Design.
Plot Summary
A truly "stinging" film, in which the city of Houston is a-buzz with fear when a mysterious horde of killer bees arrive, spreading havoc, death (but no honey) upon an all-star cast.

It is quite entertaining to watch Michael Caine and Richard Widmark...growl and snarl at each other while chewing the scenery with such gusto it would seem periodontal surgery whould be required to remove all the splinters from beneath their gum lines. - C.H. Saxelid
