Bee Attack

JURUPA VALLEY (CNS) – Two people and four horses were attacked by a large swarm of bees in Jurupa Valley, resulting in the death of one of the horses, officials said.

Firefighters responded to the 9500 block of 52nd Street around 7:30 p.m. on Aug. 9 to a report of people being stung by bees, the Riverside County Fire Department said Friday in an Instagram post.

Responding firefighters quickly extracted the two people from the swarm of bees and found that one had suffered moderate injuries while the other had suffered serious injuries. Both people were rushed to a hospital for further treatment, the department said.

Firefighters then used a mix of foam and water to get the bees away from the horses. A private veterinarian responded to the scene to treat the horses, but one died from the large amount of bee stings.

The three remaining horses were treated on the scene.
