An underground beehive at the Utah Elks Field Stadium was packed full with an angry mob of killer bees that were awoken after being agitated. That’s when they went berserk making their appearance on to the playing field stinging players and fans. Swarming the dugouts and the fans, scaring the living daylights out of them. Fans and players were forced to leave. People were rushing to get out In the midst of this killer bee surprise. One man who was stung 200 to 300 times has been hospitalized. If someone goes within 50 feet of the killer bees hive, that is when all hell breaks loose.
According to The Inquisitor:
The St. George News reports that the bee attack happened during a baseball tournament around 11:00 a.m. on Friday. The incident happened at the Elks Field in St. George, Utah. The report indicates that most injuries were minor with many experiencing multiple bee stings. However, one man in his 70s was stung between 200 and 300 times and required medical transport. The man was taken to Dixie Regional Medical Center. First responders say that the man was responsive and did not appear to be having an allergic reaction to the hundreds of stings.
KCSG notes that when the St. George Fire Department and Gold Cross Ambulance arrived at the scene, they saw people fighting off the bees. Officials say that the bees appeared to be Africanized honey bees, also known as killer bees. While any bee will fend off predators from the hive, killer bees are known to be more aggressive. The Utah County Beekeepers Association notes that killer bees have been in southern Utah since 2009. It is noted that killer bees, unlike European honey bees, will attack people or animals that they sense within a 50-foot radius of their hive. Not only do they attack, they are known to pursue their victims even as they flee.
