Rio Grande Valley man dies after bees swarm

MONTE ALTO — Authorities say they believe a South Texas man drowned after a swarm of bees forced him into a canal.
Hidalgo County Sheriff Lupe Trevino says 51-year-old Emiterio Garcia was fishing with a 43-year-old friend Roberto Galvan on Tuesday night when the bees attacked. Galvan was able to reach the shelter of the vehicle of a passing motorist, but Garcia either jumped or fell into the canal.
The Monitor of McAllen reports in its online edition that an autopsy was scheduled for today to determine how Garcia died
Honestly I had a pretty rotten day today but it pales in comparison to a bee attack death. I was keeping an eye on the pastures I walked through for snakes today but I guess I should have had my eyes open for bees instead. But I doubt that would happen to me anyway. I'm now convinced there is a Supreme Being and my life is like a sitcom for him. Nothing too awful happens but just enough to keep him chuckling. It's like I'm Al Bundy, except without the hot redhead.
