Here's the follow-up to the bee attack that went down yesterday. This woman is pretty damn unlucky.
Dozens of stingers left by angry bees remain imbedded in Gonzales' scalp after bees attacked her Thursday outside her apartment.

"To remove those (stingers), they would have to shave my head," she said, relating what hospital staff told her while she was being treated at Northwest Texas Hospital for an estimated 80 stings.
If you're at the hospital because you've been attacked by a swarm of bees, maybe your coiffe shouldn't be your prime concern.
She was swinging her hefty handbag and "doing this funky bee dance" in the parking lot when Kroeger yelled at her to run to her car, she said.
What's a "funky bee dance?" Is it the dance that's funky, or the bees?
Carl Patrick, an entomologist at the Texas A&M Research and Extension Center in Amarillo, said he is sending a sample of the bees for testing at the Texas Honey Bee Identification Lab at College Station.
I had no idea that Texas even had a Honey Bee Identification Lab, but now that I know that, I'm not surprised at all that it's at College Station. And wouldn't you know it, they've got a web site.
