​Run and hide! The Phoenix bee invasion has claimed yet another victim.

Just hours after an 81-year-old woman was attacked yesterday by a swarm of Africanized bees near 33rd Avenue, south of Cactus Road, a 72-year-old man, on the other side of town, was also attacked.

Phoenix Fire Department officials say the man was using a shop-vac to try and vacuum hundreds of bees out of a tree in his yard near 32nd Street and Indian School Road Wednesday night, when the little monsters fought back.

When the brave Phoenician took it upon himself to defend his city against bees, which have now attacked at least four times since April, he was stung about 100 times, fire officials say.

​Remember when bees were nice? Sure there was an occasional sting here and there, but they never seemed to be out for blood like these Africanized monsters we have today.

An 81-year-old Phoenix woman is the latest victim of the implacable insect, after she was found on her porch near 33rd Avenue, south of Cactus Road covered from head to toe by viscious bees.

"She looked nearly unconscious," the woman's neighbor, Marla McKendry tells KTAR radio [92.3 FM]. "She was lying on the ground right there when I came out of my house to pick up my son from school."
