A Texas man named Steven William Daniel tragically lost his life after a sudden swarm of bees attacked him while he was mowing his property in Eastland, Texas. The 66-year-old was discovered by police officers who responded to a crash call. They managed to rescue him from the bees and awaited an ambulance to arrive. Unfortunately, Daniel stopped breathing during the ambulance ride and later died due to circulatory collapse caused by the bee stings.
What makes this incident particularly shocking is that Daniel was not allergic to bee stings. His wife revealed that they had never encountered problems with bees on their property before. Experts caution that warmer temperatures may increase bee activity, which in turn raises the risk of such fatal bee attacks.
Adding to the tragedy, just days after Daniel’s death, a similar incident occurred nearby where millions of bees attacked, killing three horses and injuring their owner. These events underscore the potential danger bees can pose even in familiar environments.
Important Facts About Bee Stings in the U.S.
- An average of about 72 people die each year in the United States from hornet, wasp, and bee stings.

Safety Tips Around Bees
- Stay calm when bees are nearby to avoid provoking them.
- Avoid sudden movements such as swatting or running, which can trigger an attack.
- Contact professionals for safe hive removal instead of attempting it yourself.
This heartbreaking story reveals a hidden danger that many people do not anticipate in their own backyards. Awareness and caution are essential to prevent similar tragedies.
