VALLE VISTA — A man who was stung hundreds of times in a bee attack in western Arizona has died.

The Mohave County Sheriff’s Office confirmed Friday that the man died Sunday at a hospital in Kingman.

Authorities say the man was watching a property in Valle Vista, a community about 14 miles northeast of Kingman, June 12 when he was attacked by a hive of Africanized bees. He was stung 500 to 1,000 times.
