Bee attacks injure two in Los Angeles neighborhood.

At least two people, including a police volunteer, were hospitalized after being attacked by a group of aggressive bees in Los Angeles. Experts suggest that the attack could have started when someone disturbed a hive of feral bees. Bees sting to defend themselves or their colony, and their stinger releases an alarm pheromone that attracts other bees nearby. To avoid being attacked by bees, experts advise running away as fast as possible, not covering your face, and not playing dead.
