A man is lucky to be alive after having been
stung by tens of thousands of swarming bees
near Kingman in northwestern Arizona, authorities
said.
Mohave County sheriff’s spokeswoman, Leslie
DeSantis, told a local media on Monday in
Phoenix that the man had been hospitalized.
“The unidentified man is in stable condition at
Kingman Regional Medical Centre following the
attack after he apparently disturbed a large hive
in the backyard of a home.
“The number of bees in the shed was
unbelievable.
“The deputy who arrived said it was like
something you would see in the movies. It was
just amazing,’’ DeSantis said.
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. However, they were not
hospitalised.
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.
Authorities have warned residents of the area to
keep pets indoors, avoid walking nearby and drive
through with car windows closed.
The attack took place at a golf-course community
with large-lot homes in Valle Vista, about 23 km
northeast of Kingman and 332 km northwest of
Phoenix.
