A woman was killed yesterday in Arizona and strangly enough, the hive
hasn't been found:


Bee attack proves fatal for allergic woman

SIERRA VISTA - A 46-year-old woman who was allergic to bee stings has died
after apparently getting stung several hundred times, authorities said.


Cheryl McClain and Ted Richards, 36, were attacked by the bees Tuesday
afternoon in the Pearce area where they both lived.

McClain was reportedly dead at the scene when paramedics and deputies from
the Cochise County Sheriff's Department arrived.

Richards was airlifted to Tucson Medical Center, where he was listed in
stable condition.

Both victims had hundreds of bee stings on their bodies and authorities
were searching Wednesday for the bee hive.
