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.

"She was stung 400 times," said University Medical Center clinical supervisor Kim Hilty. "Everyone was surprised how well she's doing."


I love the handyman part. But this brings back bad memories of my brother and I being chased by a giant swarm of bees after jumping up and down on a log as kids. Sorry, didn't know you lived there, stop stinging me!

I stumbled across a nest last week, got stung 5 times, and thought I had a bad day...

Sorry to laugh at your pain, but your wording of this was just gold
