Relatives of victim Larry Goodwin said that his entire body was covered in bee stings, and that there wasn't one inch of skin that hadn't been stung. The fatal accident happened when Mr Goodwin was helping a neighbor by consolidating a pile of dry brush using a tractor on their property in Moody, Texas. Local NBC affiliate KCEN reports that he found an old chicken coop in the brush and discovered that Africanized bees were inside. The coop contained 22 honeycombs with an estimated 40,000 bees. The wife and daughter of the neighbor tried to help him when the attack started but they were injured in the melee. Mr Goodwin, 62, was able to run from the tractor towards the neighbor's house for help and began to spray himself with a hose. The woman and her daughter, neither of whom have been named, were stung a total of 100 times between them when they tried to help.

Africanized honey bees, a.k.a. 'killer bees' are a hybrid of the African honey bee and European honey bee. First found in the U.S. in 1990 in Rio Grande Valley, Texas. Nest in hollow trees, animal burrows, walls, debris or in dark, dense vegetation. Will fiercely defend their nest from perceived threat, attacking in huge swarms. Known to pursue intruders for up to a mile. The sting of an Africanized honey bee carries the same amount of venom as the Western honey bee but owing to the numbers in a defensive swarm, an attack can be fatal. Africanized bees are fatal if stung repeatedly, as eight to ten stings per pound of body flesh is thought to be enough to kill a person. The Texas AgriLife Extension Service reports that eight people have died as a result of bee stings from the hybrid bees since 1990. They are said to be easily provoked by loud noises or movements, are ten times more likely to sting, and chase their victims for up to a quarter mile meaning that it is hard to run away. A local bee exterminator said that he is typically called to remove about five hives per year and he has already hit that number this year. Just two months ago, thousands of bees swarmed a home in Wichita Falls, Texas. 'If anybody has any brush or anything on their lands please clear it because they don't want to go through this. Nobody needs to go through this,' Mr Goodwin's daughter Tanya told KCEN through tears. kcentv.com - KCEN HD - Waco, Temple, and Killeen
