A Texas man has been lucky to survive a bee attack that saw him stung more than 1200 times.
Lamar LaCaze, 65, was mowing his lawn last month when the unexpected bee attack took place, covering his body with stingers, the San Marcos Daily Record reported yesterday.
Mr LaCaze managed to call his son Trey six times to ask for help but received no answer.
When his son called him back, Mr LaCaze managed to tell him that he was "in bees".
When Mr LaCaze was found by his son, he was slumped over a fence and covered by the swarming bees.
"His head was black, solid bees," he said.
"It looked like a bee hive on his head."
Hospital staff managed to pull more than 1200 stingers from his body, as well as whole bees from his ears, nose, mouth and throat.
He will be released from hospital in the next few days though his body will take longer to process all the bee venom.
