mass envenomation event, the amount of toxins from the venom delivered which results typically in renal or cardiac failure.  very, very unfortunate. 

i am curious if they were able to determine if these were his honey bees?  or if AHB, or other stinging insect?

"mass envenomation event"

     Interesting term and educational ~ Are AHB as far west as Oklahoma?
