A swarm containing tens of thousands of bees descended on a man in Arizona who disturbed their nest, but he survived despite sustaining more stings than can be counted.
“The number of bees in the shed was unbelievable,” DeSantis said. “The deputy who arrived said it was it was like something you’d see in the movies. It was just amazing.”
Authorities said the man was working on the property when he was stung and ran to his vehicle, getting help from two passersby who were also stung. They were not hospitalized.
A beekeeper called to the scene was also stung 23 times. He told authorities it would probably take several days to fully contain the bees.
It’s a golfing community, which for some reason makes me think a Slugs-style horror B-movie (sorry!) would be a fine thing.
