LOS ANGELES — A 95-year-old man was in stable condition Wednesday evening after being stung more than 400 times by bees in Redondo Beach, police said.
“He literally got stung by thousands of bees,” Sgt. Phil Keenan of the Redondo Beach Police Department told The Times. “Most men would have died, but he’s taking it in stride.”
He said the man was expected to be released Wednesday evening from a local hospital.The bees attacked the man about 2:50 p.m. Wednesday in the 1700 block of Ruxton Lane. The bees apparently became agitated by a private fumigator who was trying to remove them from a nearby apartment building, police said.
