wrillo Posted September 28, 2009 Report Share Posted September 28, 2009 They suck,http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090928/ap_on_re_eu/eu_turkey_bee_attackCrash scene overwhelmed by bees in TurkeyANKARA, Turkey – A van carrying beehives crashed into a truck on Monday, and huge swarms of bees broke free and stung the injured and rescue workers at the scene. In the end, about 20 people were taken to hospitals, six of them injured in the crash and the rest rescue workers who were stung by the bees, said the state-run Anatolia news agency. One of the crash victims later died, but it was not immediately known if he had been killed by the impact of the accident or the insect attacks, said local Gov. Ahmet Altinparmak. The rescue workers — including local beekeepers summoned to the scene — used hoses, blankets and rags to try to ward off the bees. But it took about an hour for them to remove the crash victims from the chaotic scene, Anatolia said. The van hit the stationary truck on a road near the Mediterranean resort of Marmaris in southwestern Turkey, injuring four people in the van and two in the truck, Anatolia said. The impact burst open the bee hives in the van. The bees swarmed over the injured and police, medics and firefighters who responded to the accident, forcing authorities to seek the help of about 50 beekeepers in the area. As the crash victims waited for help, bees swarmed over them, Anatolia said. The news agency's video footage showed men in beekeeping clothing placing an injured man — also in protective gear — onto a stretcher in a swarm of bees and broken beehives, and carrying him down a hillside. Another person was seen hosing down the area to keep the bees away. Anatolia showed rescuers in orange-colored overalls inside a vehicle, trying to kill the bees by squashing them against windows, using a blanket and rags. Gov. Atlinparmak said some of the injured were in serious condition. In a similar accident in 2006, bees repeatedly stung the two drivers of a truck that carried beehives and overturned on a road in central Turkey. Police, firefighters and journalists who rushed to the scene also were attacked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bodyman Posted September 28, 2009 Report Share Posted September 28, 2009 I don't like them much either. Not allergic, like a lot of people. They just annoy the crap out of me!

buildit Posted September 28, 2009 Report Share Posted September 28, 2009 I feel their pain. I was stung 10-12 times last weekend in North Carolina by hornets near the camp I was staying at. Lucky I had predisone with me as I started to go into shock and swell up really bad. Makes me understand how people get killed by killer bees out West.

Lucky I had predisone with me as I started to go into shock and swell up really bad. Makes me understand how people get killed by killer bees out West.For at least the 2nd time since I've lived in my house, I think i have a hornet's nest near or in one of the trees in my backyard. I've just started to mow just one side of the lawn, I hate those little bastards. One got caught in between the screen and window of my bedroom, I watched it try to sting wildly as I crushed his head. They are all black with a little red stripe on their thorax.

curby Posted September 28, 2009 Report Share Posted September 28, 2009 when i was a kid, my brother and I got stung over 200 times from a hornets nest in our woods behind our house. never got stung after that until about 7 years ago. i was standing on our deck with my hand on the railing and all of a sudden... SHIT.. what was that, well a wasp nest was under the railing and little bastard stung me. needless to say, i passed out with 30 sec of getting stung. good thing my father-in-law pulled as i flipped over the railing. doctor said i must have developed a very bad allergic reaction being stung so many times as a kid. next time could kill me. AWESOME news. so now i have to carry an epi-pen with me where ever i go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the_silverfox Posted September 28, 2009 Report Share Posted September 28, 2009 Bees feel like pebbles when a swarm of them smack you on the freeway! Not fun when you have to scoop one out of your helmet's air vents with a screwdriver. This is why I swear by full face helmets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
