'Killer Bees' Claim 6 Lives in Nicaragua Bus Crash
Six people, including a mother and her 8-year-old daughter, were stung to death by a swarm of "killer bees" during a bus ride in Nicaragua earlier this week. The bus skidded off the road and plunged 165 feet down a ravine, landing in a coffee plantation field that was home to a number of disturbed killer Africanized bees. Six people ultimately died from the killer bees' stings and 14 others were hospitalized after the incident. The Africanized honey bee, also known as the killer bee, is a cross-breed between the European honey bee and the African honey bee.
