ATTACKED BY BEES.
DEATH OF TWO HORSES. [Two valuable horses on the farm of Mr L. N. Rawlings, at Buck-land, south of Pukekohe, died this week as the result of bee stings. A neighbour, Mr Douglas, was driving a mowing ’ machine about half-a-chain from some hives when the bees attacked the team of horses- viciously. Mr. Douglas attempted to free the team, but was severely stung about the head and had to retreat.
Mr. Rawlings called soine neighbours to his assistance and they eventually rescued the horses by stunning the bees "with smoking sacks. The heads and 'shoulders of the anithals were by then a mass of stings, 1 and, in spite of treatment, by a veterinary 'surgeon, they both died. ,'
