Two women were taken to the hospital Friday after a bee attack in Lehigh Acres.
A witness tells us two female landscapers were working at a home in Fitch Avenue.
One woman, who was driving a lawn tractor, was attacked by a swarm of aggressive bees. She woman scrambled to get off the tractor, but fell and injured her knee. The woman was unable to get up and had to lay on the ground while bees stung her.
A Lehigh Acres firefighter rushed to the woman and carried her away from the bees.
The second landscaper was having difficulty in breathing and was possible stung as well.
Both women were taken to the hospital.
We need to identify the unnamed firefighter who risked his life rescuing the injured lady. He should be given an award, anyone who knows him, please contact Dr. Bob at Lehigh Acres American Legion Post 323.
Thanks for the acknowledgement. will find out tomorrow and get someone to call Dr Bob
