Killer Bees Sting Six To Death After Bus Fell Into Beehive (PHOTOS)
According to DailyMail, the bus carrying 60 passengers was making the hour-long journey from Jinotega to San Sebastián de Yalí in Nicaragua on Monday when the vehicle lost control and was thrown into a 160-foot-deep slope where the beehives were located.
The collision caused the bus to smash open several wooden boxes, allowing a swarm of African bees to flee the hives where they were producing honey.
According to officials, the killer bees attacked 45 of the 60 passengers.
According to Wikipedia, the Africanized bee, also known as the Africanized honey bee and colloquially as the “killer bee”, is a hybrid of the western honey bee, produced originally by crossbreeding of the East African lowland honey bee with various European honey bee subspecies such as the Italian honey bee and the Iberian honey bee.
However, Killer bees are found mainly in southern California, southern Nevada, Arizona, Texas, New Mexico, Oklahoma, western Louisiana, southern Arkansas, and central and southern Florida.
