A 49-year-old Schulenburg-area man required a trip to the hospital after getting stung by bees around noon on Thursday, Sept. 22.

According to a report from the Fayette County Sheriff’s Office, a 911 caller reported the incident around 12:15 p.m. The caller said the man was shredding brush on property along Marty Road when the bees attacked.
