TUCSON, Ariz. - An 83-year-old woman is recovering after being stung 400 times by bees, authorities said. The woman, whose name was not released, was attacked Friday by bees coming from the wall of a storage building outside her home, said Fire Department Capt. Paul McDonough.

A handyman sprayed her with water from a hose until the bees turned on him. He ran and called 911.

Firefighters found the woman lying face down and unconscious in the street. They sprayed the bees with foam, then took her to the hospital, McDonough said.

She was out of intensive care and in fair condition Friday night.

1. Wow! That would have killed a lot of

other people. I am glad she is okay! Were they Africanized killer bees? Sounds like they were.

3. Maybe sting-to-kill Crawford bees from Dumbass's own apiary....

Seriously though, weird behavior.....

One bee sting for me and I swell up like a Macy's Thanksgiving Float.
