A Texas farmer died on Sunday after he was reportedly attacked by bees. The 53-year-old victim, Rogerio Zuniga, was found lying on his field covered with bees. According to the local authorities, the victim had disturbed an enormous beehive in Lozano, Texas on Sunday. He was reportedly on his tractor when he struck an 18-inch diameter pipe, where the bees were living inside. The bees swarmed from the abandoned irrigation pipe and killed the farmer. Though he apparently tried to run back to his house to escape, he never made it.
