More than 120,000 bees laid siege to a Santa Ana neighborhood Thursday afternoon, stinging residents, firefighters and news reporters, authorities said.

After living relatively quietly in a wall of a two-story apartment building in the 900 block of south Cypress Avenue for about two years, the bees poured into the neighborhood when boys threw rocks at the hives, fire officials said.

Firefighters responded to calls from frantic neighbors shortly after 2 p.m. and cordoned off a four-block area. They then tried to keep the bees at bay with streams of water until a professional beekeeper arrived about an hour later.

"It was pandemonium," said Santa Ana fire Capt. Steve Horner.

"Everywhere you looked, bees were attacking."

3. There was a young man died last week from a bee attack.

He was hired to remove a hive from under the eve of a house, he was attacked by over 100,000.
That happen just north of us in Sand Springs TX.
After testing of the bee's it was determined that they were Africanized.

SOme folks track the appearance of the number thirteen, suspecting it's a trigger word (for sleepers or something).

Hmmm.
