Fire rescue officials say half a dozen workers were spraying a marshy area Wednesday near Southwest 7th Street and 184th Terrace when they encountered the bees.
Officials one of the workers was stung and was hospitalized. His condition is not known.
Rescuers were initially concerned because the workers were separated when they jumped into the water, but officials said they were eventually all accounted for.
Officials said the workers were on a boat spraying pest repellent when they encountered the bees.
I’m laughing out loud. I don’t why, but I think (non lethal) bee swarm stories are hilarious.
To Bee or not to Bee.
I like honeybees too. If you don’t mess with them, for the most part, they couldn’t care less if you get right on top of them and watch them work.
Industrious little guys.
Seems like once a day we save one swimming in our small dipping pool. They seem to get confused late in the afternoon when it clouds up a bit after losing the sun and land in the water
I go through quite a bit of local honey in my morning coffee, so we try to keep them going.
