Swarm of bees injure woman, kill 3 dogs in Riviera Beach The Associated Press Posted November 7, 2008 RIVIERA BEACH -- A swarm of bees that terrorized a Riviera Beach neighborhood killed three dogs and injured a 70-year-old woman. Authorities say crews removed 50 pounds of honeycomb from the side of a Riviera Beach home after the Oct. 24 attack. The hive has been contained. The bees swarmed Nancy Hill and her two dogs, killing the animals. The bees also attacked two other dogs in the neighborhood, killing one and sending the other to the hospital. Hill was treated at a hospital where the stingers were removed. Lab tests would be needed to determine whether the bees were Africanized bees. Their stings are no more potent than an ordinary bee, but they are far more aggressive and attack in swarms. Experts believe they can be found throughout the state.
