He was stung several hundred times, from killer-domesticate cross, and that probably would have been enough to do myself in or any other healthy person. Somehow this man survived. His son had to use a CO2 fire extinguisher to knock the bees down before the perimedics could get to him. Pretty amazing. got any screen writers out there? sounds like the beginnings of a pretty good anti-bee horror flick. maybe that's why they're called "B" movies? yuk. john
