Africanized Killer Bees Attack People In Texas  

(Another off topic post) As a kid I remember reading a book called "The Swarm" which was a highly exaggerated look at what might happen to the US if African bees made it to north America - apparently this has happened now - Bee Attack — Africanized Killer Bees Attack People In Texas, Kill Their Horses.

Two dead horses, five dead hens, and their owner with a couple hundred bee stings — that’s the end result of a recent bee attack in Texas. The bees in question initiated the attack on Kristen Beauregard and her animals shortly after she had finished exercising the two horses on Wednesday afternoon — according to Beauregard, the attack was completely unprovoked, her and her animals were nowhere near the hive at the time.
