In Febuary of 1913, Pancho Villa enter Chihuahua. Villa then got rebel troops togeher, in order to take control of the area. Villa was convienced that the socail caste system needed to overtaken. With this motive he encouraged the rebels to fight using guerilla war tactics and to use their advantage of the land to their beniefit. Other tactis that were encouraged were stealing from the rich and redistrubing money in Chihuahua. These efforts gained the first victory by Manuel Chao, a local rebel,  in the city of Parral. This victory was the first of many to come by other rebels and Pancho Villa himself. This specific victory and the victories to come were imporant to the Mexcian Revolution because the city of Chihuahua vital for the sake of the presidency. This city held power becasue it was connected to the United States by train and was a source of major communicaiton. If one had control of this city it was a gateway to have control of the presidency. 

This is relevant to the Murmur of Bees because we see the way the Mexican Revolution impacted the Morales family. It caused them to move away and isolate in a way to get away from the Revolution. I would think the same type of reaction would come from the poeple from the city of Chihuahua.
