Watson said Monday he even tried to save the horses by bumping them, including an attempt to move the animals with his truck and out a gate but there were too many bees.

Thursday May 29, 2014 - HOUSTON, Texas -- A swarm of bees nesting in an abandoned home killed a dog and stung the animal's owner.
Felipe Mendoza says he came outside to find his dogs being attacked by the insects. He was able to save one dog, but the other died from hundreds of stings.
Mendoza, who is 77, was taken to the hospital as a precaution after he was stung by one of the insects.
The bees built a large nest inside a neighboring vacant home in the 900 block of 66th Street.
"I'd say it's pretty dangerous," said Mendoza's niece, Arlene Almazan. "They kind of follow you and attack."
The Houston Department of Neighborhoods sent out an inspector who called an exterminator to destroy the nest.
Normally, city officials have to wait for an owner's permission or for a public hearing to go into a building. They determined the bees were an imminent threat and called in someone to take care of the problem.
The exterminator plans to come back out Friday to make sure the insects are dead.

Monday May 19, 2014 - Waco, Texas - Three dogs were stung, two were killed Monday afternoon after a large hive containing as many 200,000 to 300,000 bees in a shed behind a South Waco house was disturbed and the angry bees swarmed the neighborhood.
The bees are likely to remain active in the area for a week or more, Waco police Sgt. W. Patrick Swanton said.
Police, firefighters, animal control officers and a couple of beekeepers were at the house at South 25th Street and Baylor Avenue just after 1 p.m. Monday trying to gather up the angry bees so they could be trapped and moved away, Swanton said.
The bees were in a hive inside a shed behind a house in the 2400 block of Baylor Avenue, Swanton said.
In order to reach the hive, a wall must be torn down, he said.
It appears the hive has been there for more than a year, he said.
The street was closed in the area of the swarm, but was reopened to traffic just before 2 p.m. Monday.
