Florida men attempt to steal honey, are attacked by 30,000 honeybees

Sometimes, justice is swift and sweet.

Three men in Florida were attacked by an estimated 30,000 honeybees on Easter Sunday, and taken to the hospital for treatment. WTSP-TV in Florida reports that Pasco County Fire Rescue responded after neighbors called 911 to report the attack. "They were covered in bees – their beards, their hair, their clothes. Bees were everywhere," said neighbor Tom Johnson.

Firefighters used a hose to douse the bees and assisted the victims. Each man received about 50 stings, deputies said. Deputies said the men were attempting to steal honey from the massive hive, which agitated the domesticated honeybees.
