Fucking BEES, man!

A swarm of bees from a hive estimated to hold 800,000 attacked four landscapers Wednesday morning in southern Arizona, leaving one dead and another critically injured.

In the past, such attacks have been described as a scene straight from a horror film, with swarms so large the sky turns dark. The roar fills victims’ ears. Bees clog their mouths and nostrils when they try to breathe. And hundreds — or thousands — of stingers akin to hypodermic needles pump poison into their skin. The smell of honeybee venom has been compared to bananas.
