A carpenter suffered numerous swellings after being attacked by an angry swarm of bees. Amateur beekeeper Sam Perkin received over 60 stings on various parts of his body, including his face, arms, legs, and backside, while tending to a honey bee hive in St Ives, Cornwall. This incident occurred after children reportedly disturbed the hive by throwing stones and lifting its roof.
