Man dead, several others hospitalized with hundreds of stings after bees swarm in Arizona

One person died and 3 others were hospitalized after a bee attack near Tucson, Arizona.

Officials say the people were passing through a neighborhood in Marana last week when they were stung hundreds of times.

The swarming bees came from a 100-pound beehive that was found in a nearby tree.

A firefighter who was called to the scene was also stung at least 60 times.

Following the incident, bee handlers removed the massive hive.
