Beez in the trap

[Legion Troll]

A queen bee got trapped in the back of a 4×4 – so her dedicated hive chased the vehicle for two days.

The swarm of around 20,000 sparked chaos when their queen got stuck in a car.

It took five different beekeepers, park rangers and passers-by to coax them off into a cardboard box, only for the wind to blow it off the car.

The car’s owner returned and drove away with the queen trapped in the back, resulting in the swarm taking up the chase.

They are even more loyal to their queen than the slimy limeys.

A man visiting from Louisiana has died after being stung by bees more than 1,000 times while hiking in a Phoenix-area park.

A large swarm of bees attacked the dude and a female friend while they were on a trail in Usery Mountain Park in Mesa, a Phoenix suburb.

The woman was able to escape and ran for help.

Park employees say the dude was lying on the ground covered by hundreds of bees.

Emergency crews arrived and were able to load the dude onto a utility vehicle and remove him from the scene, still covered in bees and the swarm following them.

Firefighters told CBS Phoenix affiliate KPHO-TV the 51-year-old had respiratory distress and numerous welts from the attack.

The dude was taken to a hospital, where authorities say he later died.
