tough old geezer

(07-09) 06:12 PDT LINZ, Austria (AP) --

A 90-year-old beekeeper was recovering in a hospital Tuesday after suffering 1,000 bee stings, the Austria Press Agency reported.

Hermann Danner was stung a week ago when he approached his two hives without protection gear.

"It was a battle that lasted about half an hour -- but it was unsuccessful," Danner was quoted as saying by APA.

Danner was barely moving when a neighbor found him and alerted medics. Doctors counted about 1,000 stings on his body, said Guenter Watzl, head physician at the hospital in Kirchdorf an der Krems, a small town about 120 miles west of Vienna.

"At such an old age, a couple of hundred stings could be deadly," APA quoted Watzl as saying.

Danner was expected to recover fully.

A couple hundred stings would kill me NOW.
