God bless him. I had a rough time with 6 ground yellow jackets.

Ouch. That poor, poor man.
How horrific.
It’s bad enough being stung like that but to swallow some and get stung on the inside, too.
That is the stuff nightmares are made of.

She told Fox19 that hospital staff members were “suctioning” bees out of Bellamy through Sunday morning. Ok, new-found respect for the US medical system. Not that many countries in the world where you can get BEES SUCKED OUT OF YOUR BODY and survive 20,000 STINGS.
Going to re-watch 'The Swarm' now.

“swallowed about three dozen of the buzzing insects”
Well, if he doesn’t recover, at least he took some of them with him.

I guess that’s why mom always said to chew before you swallow.

Measurement estimate...makes sense.
Poor guy.

“ Africanized bees have made it all the way to Ohio?”
Lemon Trees made it all the way to Ohio?

Stung by 20,000 bees? Shoot. He should be next in line to win the lottery.

“20K stingers with poison sacks attached to remove from the body. A lot of time spent.”
20k dead bees ...

I had an acquaintance who had the misfortune of disturbing a hive while mowing grass on his lawn tractor. Happened in Oklahoma. Dead before EMT arrived.

It’s not “African killer bees”, it’s *African-ized* bees.
Trivia bit: Killer Bee honey is one of the tastiest honeys you can get. Instead of the pure amber color typical for honey, it is a red-amber color. It used to be stupidly expensive, but now the price is on par with normal honey.

The story contains no details as to how they got the bees off from him and got him down from the tree. It also does not say what happened to the bee’s. Did they stick around long enough to be terminated?

#31:
"It's not “African killer bees”, it's *African-ized* bees." Yes, that's a bad mix for any species.

If you run a hot chainsaw thru any of my hives you will swear that they are African Killer Bees.

He took all them with him- honey bees that sting die. Small consolation.

Evidently Killer Bees have been established in Ohio for several years but that information was
deliberately hidden from the public. If Killer Bees can survive in Ohio, then they can survive anywhere.
Where else are they established? Inquiring minds want to know.

Being stung 20,000 times brought him out of a coma?
That’s great news!
