A Florida tree trimmer who was attacked by Africanized honeybees said he returned to finish the “nightmare” job and accidentally took down a live power pole. Ralph St. Peter was stung up to 150 times by Africanized honeybees while trimming a tree Saturday in Safety Harbor. St. Peter and co-worker Michael Foster, who used his bare hands to swat the bees swarming around St. Peter, were taken to a hospital for treatment. St. Peter said he returned to finish the job Monday, despite his wife’s pleas not to. The trimmer said he wished he had listened to his wife after a limb being pulled by the truck, which Foster was driving, took down a power pole with live power lines. No one was injured and there were no reports of outages.
