A swarm of 30,000 killer bees attacked a couple and their two miniature horses near Dallas, Texas, killing the horses and seriously injuring the people.

44-year-old Kristen Beauregard of Pantego and her boyfriend were exercising the horses in a yard near a toolshed in which the bees apparently had infested the walls.  They somehow angered the hive which went on the attack.

Beauregard and her partner tried jumping into a swimming poll to escape, but the bees attacked their faces every time they came up for air.  They were able to make it into the house and call for help.  But they had to watch as the horse helplessly flailed about the yard, running into bushes and rolling on the ground to try and shake the bees off.

Cops braved the swarm and without any special protective gear, gave massive doses of Benadryl and anti-toxins to the horses, but the animals died within hours.

Beauregard was stung about 200 times and her boyfriend about 50 times.  She says they were sweeping up piles of bees “like a bad movie.”

The hive was destroyed and officials are testing to see if they were the so-called “Africanized” bees.

A month ago and about a hundred miles south, farmer Larry Goodwin of Moody, Texas was killed by a swarm of killer bees when his tractor bumped a log contained their hive.
