Bees Make Delicious Honey and "Deathicus"

It all happened when a rogue hive plopped itself in the backyard of the Linfords.

A nice old man (a long-time beeman that is slow and arthritic) and his nephew volunteered to remove the bee hive. They wanted to inspect it first to see what kind of equipment they would need for later. They were told it was in the backyard and unaware of the exact location of the hive they started searching. They lifted up a board a smidgin and that's all it took for the hive to come alive! The bees immediately swarmed the intruders, stinging them rapidly.

FYI "The sting's injection of apitoxin into the victim is accompanied by the release of alarm pheromones, a process which is accelerated if the bee is fatally injured. Release of alarm pheromones near a hive or swarm may attract other bees to the location, where they will likewise exhibit defensive behaviors until there is no longer a threat, typically because the victim has either fled or been killed. "

The nephew ran away with only 5 stingers in his head but the old man was too slow to escape the Fury. He walked a short distance, dropped to his knees, and then curled up in the fetal position and swatted them from his head. With all the commotion a Linford came out of the house, grabbed a hose and started spraying off the bees from the old man. "His back was completely covered in bees," he said. Another Linford came out armed with soap and defensive tactics, which he learned from Googling "bees" earlier that day. Coincidence?

The old man was not escaping so the rescue had to come to him. He ended up with over 50 stingers in his person.
