Beekeeper survives 300,000 stings


A man trapped in his wrecked truck survived an attack by up to 300,000 bees searching for their hives after the truck crashed near Auckland. Chris Robinson had developed partial immunity to bee stings since he began beekeeping in 1982. "The rescuers would have been under more threat than Chris," his wife Laine said yesterday. "He was covered in stings all over his body and neck. "Most people would have died from that much venom."
