Men, Dogs Injured in SA Bee Swarm

SAN ANTONIO (AP) _ A group of men and dogs were recovering Monday after they were stung by thousands of bees from a nearly 30-square-foot hive.

City officials said no one had to be hospitalized and the animals appeared to be fine.

The San Antonio Fire Department and the city’s Vector Control responded around 4 p.m. after getting a call about the bees at a home.

Domingo Vargas and Danny Kerns were working next door on a truck when they noticed the bees swarming around dogs.

One dog was cornered in its doghouse and others bolted down the street.

Vargas, 18, and Kerns, 28, and several other men they were with, ended up scrambling as well when the bees focused on them.

Kerns said in a story for the San Antonio Express-News that everyone was stung at least six or seven times.

City officials killed the bees and destroyed the hive.
