LAS VEGAS ( FOX5 ) — Several people were attacked by a swarm of bees last Thursday outside an assisted living home in a southwest Las Vegas neighborhood.

Louis Smith, 38, a resident of the facility, was hospitalized after being stung more than 400 times. His mother, Shelia Williams, said doctors told her he is far from out of the clear despite being released from the hospital.

“By the time the paramedics got there, Louis was fully covered with bees; they couldn’t even see his shirt,” Williams said.

Williams said she received a phone call from her son, who was barely audible and told her he was in the hospital after being stung by bees.
