Bees

When a bee stings an animal it injects toxin. This toxin can seriously affect an animal if it receives a large enough number of stings. In fact, enough stings can kill dogs, as occurred at the Murwillumbah Cattle Sale Yard in March 2000 when two pedigree cattle dogs were stung thousands of times by a swarm of bees. Cats can normally escape from swarms easier than dogs so are rarely affected in this manner, however, horses have been badly stung (see picture).
