Neighbors say the hive had been there for years before this frightening attack.
"If you can imagine a cloud, visible cloud," Wing said."We were guessing in the neighborhood of 10,000 bees. She had no ability to cope with the ferocity of the attack. It just got worse and worse and worse and when she got on the ground it became savage."Firefighters arrived and sprayed water on the victim. Neighbors said firefighters also appeared to be swarmed as they tried to stop the swarm.A beekeeper eventually subdued the hive.
A spokesperson for the city of Murrieta, located about 80 miles southeast of Los Angeles, said the city has been aware of the situation since early June. "The City of Murrieta was made aware of code compliance concerns at this property on June 6, 2023, and is actively working with cooperating family members, county resources, and community members to resolve the issues," the city said in an emailed statement to NBCLA."The City has been exercising diligence with this case, but California law requires the City to give the property owner an opportunity to resolve the issues at the home on their own.
"The City is monitoring the situation closely and is committed to following legal due process requirements to ensure the health, safety, and welfare of the property owner and the neighboring community. The City remains diligent and ready to escalate its response should circumstances warrant."
