This is one of several films about Africanized honey bees (a.k.a. "killer bees") that were released during the 1970s' fear of, and fascination with, their predicted future invasion into the U.S. Southwest via South America in the early 1990s (which actually happened in the predicted time period, but not in the same ways the films had said it would, of course). Other films in this subgenre include Killer Bees (1974), The Savage Bees (1976) and its sequel Terror Out of the Sky (1978), The Bees (1978), and The Swarm (1978).
