SAN ANTONIO, Sept. 8 (UPI) -- Fire crews in San Antonio spent more than two hours Sunday battling a swarm of thousands of bees that attacked two people and an 8-month-old pit bull.
Authorities say the bees emerged from inside the walls of a house belonging to Joe De La Rosa, the San Antonio Express-News reported Monday.
De La Rosa's family escaped the bee attack but their pit bull Rocco suffered multiple stings.
San Antonio Fire Capt. Steven Boldway said the bees knocked a motorcyclist off his bike and stung at least one other person.
"The dog took the brunt of it," Boldway said.
Crews worked into the early evening hours tearing holes in the walls of the De La Rosa home so a bee-control worker could spray the remaining swarm with a "soap solution."
There was no word on what prompted the attack.
