Area: USA, State of Arizona, , Mesa Not confirmed information! Description: A swarm of bees attacked a Mesa neighborhood Sunday night, leaving three dogs who were outside at the time with more than 100 bee stings. The dogs' owner, Jennifer Shelton, says she knew something was wrong when she heard her dogs yelping in the backyard but it wasn't the noise they typically make when they want to come back inside. "My husband went to look and there were swarms of bees all over the backyard," said Shelton. Shelton and her husband tried to go outside to help but couldn't because of all the bees so they called the Mesa Fire Department. "My babies were getting attacked and there was nothing I could do," said Shelton. "It was the most helpless feeling to know I couldn't get out there to save them." The Mesa Fire Department quarantined Shelton's block, instructing people to stay in their homes until a beekeeper could come out and find the hive. "The bees were swarming people's heads, there were bees everywhere," said neighbor Stephen Petronsky. "You could hear dogs yelping. It was pretty bad." Shelton and her husband eventually managed to get all three dogs inside the house but not before the bees stung her oldest dog, Dutchess, more than 100 times. "I was scared, freaking out, they're just like my children," admitted Shelton. The beekeeper eventually located and removed the hive. As for Shelton and her family, the ordeal left them scared but thankful it wasn't worse "I'm grateful my children weren't outside at the time or me and my husband," said Shelton.
