A man was killed and another injured after a marauding cloud of more than 800,000 bees attacked them as they did lawn work.
A gardening crew working for an organization that provides services for adults with developmental disabilities had reported to a home in Douglas, Ariz., near the Mexican border.
But as they turned on their lawnmowers, a swarm surrounded them, according to the Arizona Daily Star.
A 32-year-old man, whose face and neck were covered with bees, died at a nearby hospital after suffering a heart attack, authorities said.
The other injured man was stung more than 100 times, but was treated and released, the paper said.
A 90-year-old man lived at the home, but he was not stung.
Firefighters arrived at the house after a neighbor called 911.
The landscapers had ran to her home while under attack from the bees.
Exterminators were called in to destroy the hive, which had spread through the eaves and into the attic.
