Florida Man Survives Bee Attack

(Fort Myers, FL) — A passing motorist may have saved the life of a Fort Myers, Florida man who was being attacked on Saturday by a swarm of bees near his back yard.

The victim says he was just mowing his lawn when he bumped into a hive.

Almost instantly, he says, he was being attacked by thousands of bees protecting their nest.

A passing driver saw the man flailing his arms and falling on the ground and stopped his car to get out and help.

Water from the garden hose scared off most of the bees but not before they stung the unidentified victim hundreds of times.

Experts have since removed the bees, but the homeowner says he’s reluctant to return to his back yard.
