A family in La Habra is keeping a close watch on their dog after it was stung 155 times by a swarm of bees.

The dog is now at home recovering after being released from an emergency animal hospital.

“My neighbor came over and basically informed us that our dog was getting attacked by bees in our backyard, so my first reaction was to go back there and save her,” said the dog’s owner. He asked a friend to help him rescue the dog.

“Me and him, both, put on these big polo jackets, and went out there, and there were just too many,” said his friend. “There was a swarm around the gate when we were trying to open it, so we had to actually run from the bees.”

A vet removed a total of 155 stingers from the dog. The vet’s bill was about $2,000.

The dog’s owner believes that the bees came from a neighbor who has bee hives in their backyard.

“We asked for the bees to be removed because we don’t know when it is going to happen again,” said the dog’s owner. “We just want to know we’re safe in our backyard, so as of now, they have been removed.”

A news reporter reached out to the beekeeper in the neighborhood, but got no response.

Ladies and gentlemen, bees are great for the environment and we need them. However, you really need to be careful when you set up a bee hive in a residential area. If nothing else, talk to your insurance agent about it. An attack like this could “really make a personal injury attorney’s day”.
