A Texas family is in shock after a swarm of bees killed all nine of their chickens in a matter of minutes.Jennifer Stavinoha, the chicken keeper, told KBTX's Jadyn Stack that she received a text from her husband stating, "I think bees are killing our chickens." She rushed outside to find most of the chickens already dead, surrounded by a swarm of bees.The Stavinhoas say they want to know what type of bees could have caused the tragic event in Bryan, Texas, which is around 101 miles outside of Houston."European honey bees don't normally attack you, and you want them in your yard. But the idea of this Africanized colony or bad genetics or whenever that they get aggressive and they go after you. Normal honey bees don't do things like this," Jennifer Stavinoha said.A bee expert in the area, Chris Barnes, explained that the incident likely involved territorial colonies. Barnes said the chickens likely were in the wrong place at the wrong time and got caught in the crossfire, according to KBTX.See more in the video player above.
