A worker died on Aug. 3 after being stung by bees that swarmed a Southern California construction site after a contractor grading a parking lot struck an underground hive, a fire chief said, ABC News reports.
Chaos broke out as the bees swarmed, workers said. Some workers panicked and bolted, while at least two men rolled on the ground covering their faces with their hands. A third man swatted at the bees with a vest.
