CHINO VALLEY, AZ - A Chino Valley man credits his neighbors with quick action that likely saved his life during a bee swarm Tuesday.
Neighbors grabbed a hose and sprayed down Eric Warthan as bees were busy stinging him.
One neighbor said she pulled 26 stingers out of Warthan's skin.
Warthan said he was just walking from his truck to his home north of Prescott when the bees attacked.
He told the Prescott Daily Courier it was a "nightmarish experience" as angry bees stung his face.
Chino Valley resident Ryan West said the bees also attacked several children getting off a school bus a few blocks away about an hour earlier on Tuesday.
