In the Rio Grande Valley, peak Africanized bee season is approaching. This region is notable for being the original US home of the Africanized bee. The bee population is expected to grow rapidly as spring rain brings new blooms.

Citrus fields coming into bloom in early June will also contribute to this growth. Further information on the peak season and its implications is available through MyRGV, for residents who want to learn more about the Africanized bee population in the area.
