Douglas Fire Department officials say the incident occurred around 10:30 a.m. Wednesday as the landscapers were working on a home.


One man later died at a hospital.


The names of the victims weren't immediately released.


A hive was found inside the home's attic and a beekeeper later exterminated it after parts of the roof of the home were torn off.
