A swarm of bees attacked and killed a terrified man while he was mowing his lawn. Stephen Daniel had been mowing the lawn close to an abandoned building near Friendship Park in Eastland, Texas, on April 27, when he accidentally disturbed a large beehive.
Within moments the bees swarmed Stephen as he raced toward his vehicle. But as he tried to escape, he ended up in Chrishae Cooper's front garden. She watched on as Stephen struggled to fight off the bees and alerted emergency services. Police were then dispatched to the scene in an attempt to save Daniel's life.

I just got a special pole on Amazon that holds bee spray cans and sprayed the nest from 20 feet away.
There was a news story a few days ago about three horses being kill by bees when their owner didn’t realize he parked them close to a hive.

What Are Wasps Good For? You Might Be Surprised
everything has a pro as well as con. Maybe even a democrat?
Yeah, I’ll get right on that. /s
Chrishae Cooper could call the authorities, but could not do anything to help?
According to an Internet search, Chrishae Cooper is 21 years old.
Even throwing a heavy blanket or quilt for him to shelter under would have been helpful.
“Sadly I can’t find any info on what kind of bees they were. It is known, but they won’t tell us.”
Let’s just say they weren’t Scandinavian bees!
Quite.
Very.
Amish bees?
I saw Billy pulling his stinger.
SNL skit about bee’s at camp
Just last week a friend of mine posted an account of a friend of hers having her 3 horses killed by such a swarm in Comanche, Texas. It seems these bees are becoming a real hazard in that area.
Three horses were killed in Comanche, Texas by such a swarm just last week. I wonder if it could be the same swarm.
The full details are horrific. The owner posted the full story on FB. I first read it on a mutual friend’s feed.
Where do you live? I need to know so I never, ever, set foot in that region of the country. Nothing personal.
The two towns are about 36 miles apart, so not likely.
The pro for democrats is they make good fertilizer, since they’re so full of it.
Local news reports called them honey bees, but could just be lazy reporting.

Mine is bees/wasps/hornets, most likely cuz they’re fast and they fly.
And they’re ugly and they sting.
I honestly would rather be trapped in a room with a tarantula than a wasp.
Also when running, do not look back, you’ll get stung in the face which is worse. Also you can run faster with your head facing the same way you run.
