"Killer" Bees Kill Three Dogs in Southern California
"Killer" Bees Kill Three Dogs in Southern California: "A swarm of Africanized 'killer' bees attacked and killed three dogs in Hesperia last week when a hive was disturbed by a falling tree branch in a fenced backyard.
Authorities said the owner of the three mastiff dogs, a 100-pound female, 90-pound male and a 20-pound puppy, was also stung repeatedly while attempting to save the animals on May 7.
The homeowner, whose name wasn't disclosed, went inside the house to escape the bees.
A city spokeswoman said bee samples sent to San Bernardino County Vector Control confirmed they were Africanized honey bees.
Officials said 90 percent of the bees in San Bernardino County desert areas are now Africanized honey bees."
