Was he a racist tree trimmer.

I mean after all, he must have deserved it.

"This giant swarm just came directly at me. It's like they knew who did it," Ralph St. Peter explained.

Glenn Beck was right! The bees know.

On the bright side, every bee that stung him is dead.

“killer bees”? This term is not common to me. How long has it been in use, outside of B movies?

I never cease to be amused by poor editorial skills in regards to titles -
The way it is constructed, it sounds as if the tree trimmer was attacked by africanized bees that were released from the hospital Sunday... too funny (that’s what happens when you have a mother who is a college English professor!)

Heh...I have one hive of Carolinian bees, and one hive of Italians, and they tore me up yesterday. Bright and sunny, and should have been out collecting nector/pollen. 30 minutes after a half-dozen stings, went inside, and a thunderstorm came up. Smart animals.....must have detected the storm.

Why did they release the bees from the hospital?
(Someone skipped Headline Writing at Journalism school.)

...attacked by Africanized bees released from hospital Sunday

The Bees were released from a hospital???

I usually do not do "grammar police" posts, but this is just a prime example of how badly today's writers - write. What is worse is that most of them don't even have a clue about what is wrong with this headline. Also, what is/where does the word "Africanized" appear in our dictionaries today? I hate the "---ized" words that are being made up. I remember, years ago, when "palletized" started to be used. Then there is the new expression that irks me...replacing the word "disappeared" with "went missing." I just shudder.

I know...off the subject...my bad. I guess the thought of this guy being stung and suffering drove me to madness.

He should sue the hospital for negligence. They should have never have released the bees.

This is AZ.

They are not “Killer Bees” they are “Undocumented Bees”.
