Did you hear about that man and his wife who got swarmed by the killer bees? She died. He ended up in intensive care, but I didn't hear any more about him. I know he is still suffering. IIRC, he had over 2000 stings.

Haven't heard about those people, in particular, but it does happen. The elderly can't run fast enough for cover, & that's what one has to do.

The worst part is what they will eventually do to our agriculture. They're so busy being mean, they aren't good foragers, pollinators.

I saw the man who was stung over 2000 times on Weekend Today, either yesterday or Saturday. He has recovered from the stings but is grieving over the loss of his wife, bless his heart. He wants the public to be aware of the killer bee threat and is suggesting that EMS crews be better prepared and purchase protective clothing for future rescue situations.

HD, thanks for the ping...hope you're feeling better tonight!
