Fire officials said they man had been driving when bees flew into the open windows of his truck. He lost control and crashed into the very house where the hive was hidden in a wall.
"It was top to bottom about eight feet tall, a foot and a half wide, four inches deep, and 125,000 strong, about 80 to 100 pounds of honey comb," beekeeper Keith Huddle said.
Huddle said crews had to cut through the house to get the massive hive out.
"With the drought last year, the hives were definitely not spreading as much as they normally do. This year, with the great weather—not great, but better than normal—it is really doing a whole lot to make the bees reproduce and spread like crazy," Huddle said.

His luck wasn't all bad. I can't say for sure, but he probably wasn't allergic or they would have mentioned his death. A friend of mine got stung once and his neck started to blow up like a balloon, i can only imagine what a 100 stings would do.
Yeah, I have friend like that too. The doc said if he gets stung one more time he will probably die. Imagine living with that over your head.
