Being attacked by bees is usually only in horror movies or nightmares. For a couple in Texas, the nightmare turned into true life on Wednesday. Kristen Beauregard, 44, and her boyfriend were in their garden with their two ponies. Ms Beauregard said everything was normal until one pony started jumping. It was very frightened about something. Suddenly she saw a dark cloud in the sky and she knew it was a swarm of 30,000 bees. She said: "It got all dark, like it was night time, there were so many bees." The bees attacked the couple and their horses.

Luckily, the couple jumped into their swimming pool. Ms Beauregard was stung 200 times. Her boyfriend counted over 50 stings on his arms, neck and head. The pool saved their lives because the bees could not attack under the water. Kristen said it was terrifying: "We were trying to stand up in the water but every time we stuck our heads out for air, they would cover us and start stinging us. We were trying to breathe and they were stinging us." Sadly, the two ponies did not escape. They got stung thousands of times. One died on the farm, the other at a clinic later that evening.
