The poor bastard at the trauma center, bees die when they use their sting and leave the barb in their victim.

They can't survive harsh winters so they are mostly stuck in the south west US. This is why they were unlikely found in this case in Ohio.
They actually have had a hard time establishing in east Texas because of the sheer number of European bees out competes them.
Beekeepers rotate their queens to prevent hybridization in their hives.

They have lemon trees in Ohio?
And how do you climb high into one? They aren't very tall.

I got 25+ bumble bee stings years ago when I was in high school. Went to hospital and got IV Adrenalin, Benadryl, steroids
Can only imagine 20,000

mowed over a yellow jacket nest when I was about 10, got stung 73 times, was determined not to cry, my Dad was checking me over and putting something on my legs, after about 30 minutes I had to let some water go, tough guy be damned, still had to get back out there and finish mowing(2 and 1/2 acres)

NGL, you know that must've made for an awesome spectacle.

Ok, I'll shut up about the 5 yellow jacket bee stings I got the other day mowing.

How do you even count that many bee stings on a human body?
Count stings on a square inch X average surface area of if someone his height and weight?

I will defer to the fire department on lots of things but the species of bee is not one of them.
The likelihood they were Africanized is almost 100% with that many stings.

I'd be dead. One wasp sting will give me a seizure.

Got to say - this sounds like my worst nightmare, poor bastard
