I Told You To Stop Killing The Bees

But do you ever listen?

TUCSON, AZ (Tucson News Now) -

A swarm of about 800,000 bees killed one landscaper and critically injured another person in an early morning attack in Douglas, the fire department there said.

Fire officials said the thousands of bees came from a hive in the attic of a home in the 1800 block of 21st Street and attacked the man around 10:30 a.m. Authorities took him to a hospital where he later died and the other person remains in critical condition, officials said.

A beekeeper later exterminated the hive of bees and parts of the roof of the home were torn off. The hive is believed to be 10 years old.
