A mother and her young son were airlifted to a hospital after suffering a severe bee attack. Rosie Kirkness and her 2-year-old son, Jamie, were in Wester Ross, Scotland, last July when they encountered a swarm of bees, resulting in over 150 stings each, as reported by The Sunday Times.

The ordeal began when Rosie felt a bee in her hair, quickly followed by a swarm covering her arm. Overwhelmed by the stings, she collapsed but managed to reach a nearby home for help. The homeowner later recounted to Rosie’s mother, Susan Kirkness, the shocking sight of Jamie covered in bees. While waiting for paramedics, Rosie and Jamie used the man's shower to wash off the bees, during which Jamie began to vomit bees.
