Horror as Swarm of 30,000 Bees Attack Couple and Kill Two Horses and Five Hens in North Texas

Kristen Beauregard, 44, was stung about 200 times, and her boyfriend about 50 times, the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reported Saturday.

But the horses, Chip and Trump, were so covered in bees they shimmered. Neither could be saved.

‘They were chasing us down, they were following us,’ Beauregard said of the incident Wednesday evening. ‘We swept up piles and piles of them … it was like a bad movie.’

The bees are being tested to see whether they are Africanized or ‘killer’ bees. It is unclear what prompted them to leave the hive.
