When you spend your days in the largest hot dog on wheels, you find yourself looking for other large roadside attractions when traveling.  I frequently hear the phrase, “Everything’s Bigger in Texas”, but I never expected to find the World’s Largest Killer Bee would be in Hidalgo.

In 1990, Hidalgo, TX was the first American city to witness the Africanized Honey Bee, also known as the “Killer Bee”.  Hidalgo became the “Killer Bee Capital of the World” by taking pride in the fact that although Killer Bees may sting, they also produce honey.  The Killer Bee is now Hidalgo’s official mascot.  It stands one foot shy of the 11-foot height of the Wienermobile vehicle.  And just like our large hot dog on wheels, the World’s Largest Killer Bee is also made of fiberglass!
