Here's another news story for those with a "thing" about bugs... especially ones that can kill you. Another tidbit from Reuters.
Killer bees in Guyana have stung to death an elderly woman in the second fatal bee attack this month in the South American nation.
Relatives said Iris Lynch, 65, died after being attacked on Wednesday by a swarm of the bees while cleaning her yard in Golden Grove village, east of the capital Georgetown. A 25-year-old man who tried to help her was taken to a hospital for treatment of multiple stings from the insects, a particularly aggressive strain of honey bee that originated in southern Africa. Residents said the bees had been nesting in nearby houses.
Earlier this month farmer, Parbudyal Harrypaul, 47, died after being engulfed by a horde of the deadly bees while working in a village just west of the capital. The bees have periodically attacked people and animals along the Guyanese coast over the last 20 years.
The insects were brought to Brazil in the 1950s to increase honey production, and have spread throughout South and Central America and into parts of the southern United States.
