Bee attacks on the rise in Southern California communities.

A volunteer for the Los Angeles Police Department was swarmed by bees while responding to a report of a swarm in an Encino neighborhood. The volunteer fell and hit his head as he tried to swat at the agitated hive, splitting open his face. The man's family is now asking for help paying his medical bills through a GoFundMe, as volunteers are not considered city employees and he will be responsible for his own expenses through Medicare. The volunteer will be in the hospital for several more days to receive surgery for his facial fractures and other injuries from being stung dozens of times.
