Torrance family’s dog killed by swarm of bees
Torrance, CA (BDCi) — A Torrance family returning home after their Sunday church found their 6-year-old dog agonizing over bee stings and convulsing in the corner of the backyard.
According to Joe Park, the owner, the dog was happily playing in their backyard when they left, hours later after they returned home, and Jindo was lying in the yard covered with hundreds of bees stingers.
The family tried to remove the stingers, but the dog died minutes later. Hive removal expert Don Sorensen says there may have been 25,000 bees in the hive. It’s not known if they were aggressive Africanized killer bees.
