The Swarm background

The Swarm

Deadly African bees wreak havoc across the United States, causing widespread destruction and claiming thousands of lives.

In a chilling scenario, a hybrid bee species is rapidly expanding its territory northward through interbreeding with gentler bees from northern climates. As the threat looms closer to Houston, a determined entomologist, Brad Crane, must navigate the complex dynamics to prevent the use of military force, which could disrupt the natural balance and exacerbate the crisis.
