The bees, the bees!

Bees decided to run riot through the town of Suprise this week, injuring ten people. While out enjoying a sunny day, the residents of this small Arizona town were positively terrorised by the flying honey makers.
The whole ordeal started when one of the residents, checking his mail, disturbed the bees. They came swarming and immediately attacked him. The first victim to fall prey to the violence was stung over 50times.
Neighbours heard his cries and came running to save him. Using a hose, they blasted the bees off with water. The sheer number of stings he received resulted in an allergic reaction, and he had to be rushed to hospital.
But the terror wasn't over. The hive, which was located in a water irrigation box across from the man's house, was on the warpath. World War Bee broke out, and nobody was safe. They flew out of their hive, looking for their next Arizona victim.
Children Fall Prey To The Bees
Once they were finished hospitalizing the man, the bees looked for their next victims. Off they buzzed across the residential area of Surprise. Two unlucky kids, ages 11 and 8, were next on their beedar.
Darren and Brady were out riding their scooters when the bees attacked. The swarm descended on them and other neighbourhood children, stinging as they went. Thankfully, the fire services were nearby, and they stepped in to save the day.
The boys were rushed into the fire truck and told to call their father. He recalled the harrowing moment his bee-stricken child called him. "It was my oldest saying, 'Hey Dad, we're in the fire truck,' but it wasn't a good, 'Hey Dad, we're in the fire truck.' It was like, okay, something's wrong here."
So he rushed off to help them and got stung in the process. "It kept going on and on. It felt like you got stabbed by a needle." The 11-year-old recalled, "It really hurt for an entire 10 minutes." The stricken young man suffered so much from the bees that he took a day off from school.
Despite the vicious bees, the town is recovering from their shock. Also, the man who was rushed to the hospital is alive and well.
