NEW PORT RICHEY (CBSMiami/AP) - Three men were hospitalized after they were stung more than 50 times by bees in the Tampa area over the weekend.
Pasco County Fire Rescue officials say 20,000 to 30,000 bees swarmed four people Sunday morning in New Port Richey.
A woman was stung about a dozen times but her injuries were not as serious.
Authorities say firefighters sprayed the bees with a hose to make them disperse.
It was not immediately clear what may have provoked the bees to leave their hive in a tree.
