According to the Eagle Pass Daily News, Enrique Galindo, 41, was discovered unconscious outside a home. Galindo was pronounced dead at a local hospital.
Law enforcement authorities believe Galindo may have been stung hundreds of times.
According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Africanized honey bees, known colloquially as "killer bees," can be highly defensive around their nests and swarm more frequently than other honey bees.
Sonny Krout of Abolish Pest & Wildlife Control in San Antonio said the spring and summer is when bees will attack people.
"A lot of times, people are out mowing their lawn, they didn't know there was a colony or even on a neighbor's property," Krout said. "They just come swarming at them and all of the sudden, they attacked out of nowhere. It happens quite a bit."
Krout said what makes the Africanized honey bees so dangerous is that it's hard to tell the difference between the regular honey bee and the "killer bees."
"Basically, ("killer bees") are more aggressive than the regular honey bees and they are not only more aggressive, but they'll attack in bigger numbers," Krout said. "If you're running away from them, they'll actually chase you farther and farther distances."
Krout said if you are attacked, you best bet is to run inside a building, a home or a car and protect your face.
