The worker was mowing a lawn when he was attacked. He was in good condition at a local hospital.
The average adult can tolerate about 10 stings per pound of body weight, so an adult could withstand more than 1,100 stings, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture.

Africanized honey bees attack in great numbers and will chase someone up to a quarter mile, according to the Smithsonian Institution.
