A farmer near Waco, Texas, was killed by a swarm of about 40,000 killer bees after he drove by their hive on Saturday.
The Waco Herald-Tribune reports that the victim, Larry Goodwin, was on his tractor and hit an unused chicken coop which housed the hive and the lethal Africanized honey bees attacked.
Goodwin's family told NBC station KCEN of Waco that every bit of exposed skin was covered with stings.
"He had thousands and thousands of bee stings on his face and arms," his daughter Tanya told KCEN.
Goodwin of Moody, Tex., tried to save himself by running to a garden hose but was unsuccessful.
A neighbour who tried to help, along with responding volunteer firefighters, were also stung several times by the aggressive bees.

"He who can, does. He who cannot, teaches."
"Being is substance and life; life manifests by movement; movement is perpetuated by equilibrium; equilibrium is therefore the law of immortality.
"The doctrine of equality!... But there exists no more poisonous poison: for it seems to be preached by justice itself, while it is the end of justice.... "Equality for equals, inequality for unequals" that would be the true voice of justice: and, what follows from it, "Never make equal what is unequal."
