Killer bees death: 40,000 bees attack Texas man

Killer bees death: 40,000 bees attack Texas man, Killer bees stung to death a man in Texas after he disturbed their nest in an old chicken coop, KCEN-TV reported June 2.

Thousands of killer bees attacked Larry Goodwin, of Moody, Texas, on Saturday as he was cleaning up brush on a neighbor’s property. He apparently disturbed a hive of Africanized killer bees in an old chicken coop on the property.

Goodwin reportedly was attacked by a swarm of 40,000 killer bees, Sky News reported. He ran some 50 yards and tried to use a garden hose to fend off the killer bees.

Goodwin was stung so many times by the killer bees that he died, and family members said that it seemed as if no area of his body had been left untouched.

People who tried to rescue Goodwin from the killer bees — the neighbor’s wife and daughter — were themselves stung hundreds of times by the swarm of killer bees. Emergency workers tried to resuscitate Goodwin, to no avail, and he died in the killer bee attack.

Africanized honey bees are some hybrid varieties of the Western honey bee species, created originally by cross-breeding of the African honey bee with various European honey bees.

Several killer bees deaths have been documented over the years. Africanized honey bees are aggressive and will pursue a perceive threat for long distances, sometimes as much as a mile. Killer bees relentlessly attack and sting their victims.
