MANCHESTER, N.H. (AP) — A worker in a utility bucket cutting down a tree and disturbed a beehive is being treated for numerous bee stings, along with five neighbors who tried to help him.

WMUR-TV reports a Manchester, New Hampshire, fire department official said the worker was strapped in the bucket and was immediately stung by hundreds of bees Thursday morning. He was hospitalized; his condition wasn’t immediately known. The neighbors also were stung.

The tree has been removed and buried in a landfill.

A pest control company is spraying the remaining bees in the area.

Lawrence, MA - February 09, 2019: US Senator Ed Markey, left, greets Representative Joseph P. Kennedy III as he arrives to endorse and introduce United States Senator Elizabeth Warren during a rally at Everett Mills in Lawrence, MA on February 09, 2019. US Senator Elizabeth Warren, the law professor turned firebrand of the progressive left, made her run for the presidency official on Saturday, laying out a populist vision for the change needed to right an economy gone wrong that imbued her longtime focus on inequality with new liberal tenants like Medicare for All and the Green New Deal.
Speaking on the steps of a hulking mill building, Warren kicked off her campaign with a history lesson about the immigrant women who had gone on strike inside more than a century ago to protest squalid labor conditions and dwindling pay, connecting themes of labor rights, immigration, and gender to her own campaign.
