Luckily for this resident, the swarm was not large enough to require extreme measures as Africanized honey bees have been known to attack and kill.  Twice they have proven deadly in the Siesta Acres, Seco Mines area.  The first when an elderly man was attacked when mowing a lawn, the other when a man sought shelter in an abandoned house infested with the killer insects.

In yet another incident in the Comal Street area, they attacked an 82 year-old man there.

Local science teacher Randy Laurence of CC Winn High School informed The News Gram that they migrate from time to time and seek places to rest.

"They're instinctual and not very smart," stated Mr. Laurence, "They release some kind of chemical smell when startled by any kind of vibration from a lawn mower or weed eater and when they initiate that swarm reflex it's horrible." 

He concluded that the venom from a bee sting is not deadly, however multiple bee stings can cause the body to go into anaphylactic shock in which the body reacts to a foreign amount of protein contained in the bee venom.
