RIVIERA BEACH — Bees that had been living on the shutters of a vacant house in the Woodbine neighborhood have killed three dogs and injured a 70-year-old woman.
Nancy J. Hill stepped outside her Dorado Drive home at about 4:30 p.m. Friday to walk her two dachshunds. She made it 15 feet from the door when the bees swarmed her, then killed the 7-year-old dogs, Hill's husband Brian said.
Police restricted access to Dorado Drive from about 5 p.m. Friday through noon Saturday so that officials could contain the swarm. They advised residents to stay inside with their pets. At about noon, pest control workers destroyed the hive, and the street reopened.
Animal Control Capt. Dave Walesky said Friday it would take lab tests to determine whether the bees were Africanized "killer" bees.
