>There were 4 horses killed by bees in the UK recently. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-sussex-13942849 http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2008942/Two-horses-drown-die-shock-attacked-angry-swarm-bees.html Interesting. Sounds like a real fluke. Also one article says, "Nobody knows what happened, but some hives were damaged and the horses were obviously attacked by millions of bees. "Millions of bees"? That would mean at least 25 hives for the first million, assuming every bee participates in mass suicide, methinks.
