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. |
