NOTW – Two dogs savagely killed by hundreds of killer bees during freak attack

Two dogs were savagely killed by a swarm of killer bees during a freak attack after becoming agitated, it is claimed. A pet owner was left distraught after a swarm of Africanised honey bees attacked two dogs and a group of people in Texas, US. The attack was described as “highly unusual” as bees are never aggressive unless they feel threatened or provoked. Devon Johnston, from R9 Hive & Honey, told Valley Central: “Typically Africanised bees have a memory of three days.” “So, when they get disturbed by someone using a lawn mower or some loud noise, they are going to be on high alert for three days.” She believes the bees were agitated which led to them running after the dogs who were in a fenced patio. Ms Johnston added: “The dog’s owner took me into the residence where the dogs were and there were hundreds of dead bees in the patio. He had sliding glass doors and there were muddy paw prints and even a little bit of blood from where the dogs were desperately trying to get into the house.” The bee hive was removed and no other injuries were reported. source: Mirror
