I have just been contacted by friends who live in Spain. They were out walking and came across some beehives. No idea what they might have done to disturb the hives but he got stung. 48 times! He is being carefully monitored as he has a heart condition. The wife has been in touch with me to ask if it is possible these bees might be a kind of bee (she called them apis mellifera iberiensis, although I have no idea where she got that from - they are not beekeepers by any means) that sting and do not die; ie the sting does not become detached from the body.
I am trying to keep an open mind although I do wonder what might have really happened, but I do not believe such a bee exists.
Would love to have your comments ...
