Nature has it’s moments of pure joy and beauty. Times where we see it in action and realize that without its natural course that the world would be in a bad place. Nature can also be brutally frightening and catch us off guard. Yup, animals attack other animals and not every cuddly creature makes it. Sometimes we just get caught up in nature doing its thing and pay a price. A family in Arizona was having a photo shoot when a swarm of bees attacked. This is the time of year when swarms are traveling as they look for new places to nest. They can be very aggressive and feel easily threatened. The mom was quick thinking enough to get the kids in the car to protect them but she ended up taking the brunt of their anger getting stung 75 times. Even if you are not allergic too many bee stings can kill you. Luckily her mother called 911 and the fire department came to the rescue spraying the bees and getting the family to safety. Mom is doing fine and you can see footage and hear the 911 call below. Some tips from expert say to simply run away from a swarm in a straight line and get inside somewhere as quickly as possible to cut down on further stinging and don’t try to swat them away.
