Bees: pest killer 
In 10 countries of Africa,cassava plantations were infected by the mealy bug. At thattime, cassava harvests were much reduced because of this pest.
The International Instituteof Tropical Farming, in 1985, released 50,000 bees to counteractthese bugs. Before the event, mealy bugs numbered as muchas 1,500 for every growth or branch of cassava.
The pest population was muchreduced because of the bees. After the event, only about 10-20mealy bugs could be found on every cassava plant
