An East Rand factory worker was killed and another was critically injured when they were attacked by a swarm of bees at warehouse in Germiston.

Netcare 911 spokesperson Jeffrey Wicks says the huge swarm passed through the factory yesterday afternoon and stung one man repeatedly. A co-worker rushed to his aid.

Paramedics found that the victim sustained nearly a thousand stings. He had died prior to their arrival.

The man who had attempted to save him was also stung and is in hospital in critical condition.
