I can think of nothing else right off the bat that would be more terrifying that this, can you?
The Swarm
As two young hikers got ready for an easy jaunt through a park in Arizona during the day, a cloud suddenly appeared on the horizon. The cloud of thousands of angry, swarming bees immediately seemed to zero in on one unfortunate 23-year-old man.
As his horrified companion watched, the man was set upon by the entire swarm. A fellow hiker and a pair of park rangers were unable to even approach the man, who was completely enveloped by bees. Responders reported that the man was still covered with bees when he was loaded into an emergency vehicle. The entire swarm even pursued the responders as they rushed him to the hospital.
Upon arrival, the swarm had finally dissipated enough for the man to be treated but only because the bees had done their job. The man died shortly thereafter.
Just imagine the pain that poor man had to endure, not to mention the horror of being stung to death! Talk about feeling helpless...
Coffee out on the patio again this morning. Temps are on the rise once more!

I keep hearing stories like this one and they horrify me. This is one of those stupid experiments gone wrong and the results escaped into nature. i can't even imagine how that poor fellow felt dying like that. So sad. Temps cooling off again here.
I like honey bees, bumble bees, and miner bees. Yellow jackets, however, can just stay away! We do need the bees for pollination. If they go so do we.
Hey Linda...
Must be a terrible way to go, that's for sure.
Thanks for stopping by today!
Hey Momlady...
I do like bees as well, as long as they don't sting me.
Thanks for coming over today!
Linda is right this was another bad idea gone terrible wrong. Those bees came from Africa and are so called killer bees. There have been way to many attacks. What a horrible way to die.
We are in the high 80's to mid 90's here, with great night temps in the mid 50's great for sleeping.
See you on the patio
That's horrible. I tangled with a mess of ground hornets once and that was bad enough.
Not a pleasant way to go. I have been stung enough times to know that I don't even want one more single sting and especially not a whole swarm.
Hey Jo...
I sure don't want to mess with them. Know what I mean?
Thanks, sweetie, for dropping by this morning!
Hey Sixbears...
That had to be pretty painful. I can see why once was enough.
Thanks for coming over today!
Hey Dizzy...
I don't want to have another sting either! One or a swarm...no more for me!
Thanks for the visait this morning!
