A Texas couple was attacked by what is being described as a swarm of 30,000 killer bees. The couple, Kristen Beauregard, 44, was stung about 200 times, and her boyfriend about 50 times, according to the Fort Worth Star-Telegram.

Beauregard had noticed a number of bees on her property, particularly flying in and around a shed. She did not know just how many were actually in the area.

If they were killer bees, why didn't she die?

Africanized, or killer, bees are no more venomous than standard European honey bees. The Africanized bees are much more aggressive and attack in much larger numbers giving them the reputation of being killer bees.

If you have Netflix look up Monster Quest. I think it steams. They did a one hour show on Africanized bees in the southwestern U.S. Scary stuff.

I drove a truck several years ago and stopped at a truck stop in San Antonio. Had to park a long ways from the building so as I'm walking in I see what looks like a black cloud coming towards me. It was a swarm of bees, I was caught in the open and didn't have anywhere to go. I tucked my face down, held my breath and stood still. The bees went around me on both sides and over my head. Not one bee touched me, much less stung me. It was scary as hell though.

I know that I'm weird, but I clicked the thread title half hoping to see a horse that had been turned into honeycomb

Acid rain was scary in the 80s too. I've been lit up running up on yellow jackets quite a few times & they ain't no joke.

True but yellow jackets don't attack by the thousands.

That show is not streaming on Netflix. In it two men in bee suits found an abandoned house near the Mexican border. It had two large hives of bees in the walls. They no more than walked in the house and literally thousands of bees attacked them and followed them over a half mile into the desert.

Have you ever walked up on or stepped in a yellow jacket nest? Japanese hornets are no joke either.

Yellow jackets will F you up. Stripped almost naked while mowing one time cause I ran over a nest. My awareness level now while mowing is insane. Ill run a 4.2 40 just over a gnat now. No joke.
