Do not attempt to combat the bees. Also, bee colonies should be removed only by professional bee-removal services. Water does not deter bees. Do not swat at the bees as this will only aggravate them further.
Many people are allergic to bees and Africanized bees sting more often than the European variety.
Do not attempt to rescue the victim without proper attire and training. Tell the victim to run. You may also phone the Pima County Animal Control Bee Info Line at 743-7550 . All rights reserved.
