Washington man sets beehive on fire after sting

Lynden chief Gary Baar tells the Bellingham Herald
(http://bit.ly/pBBpg0) that the Sunday night fire caused a large “whoosh,”
singed the tree and killed the bees but no people were hurt.
Baar says the man’s friend had been stung earlier in the
day.
The fire chief says, “The correct way to do that is to call
a beekeeper.”
Firefighters explained that to the homeowner, and the
newspaper says it doesn’t appear that that the man will be cited.
