Bee Had Bad Attitude, Says Victim

Bee's victim discusses 'totally unprovoked attack'.

Columbus, OHIO - Sting victim Todd Brashworth of Granville College in Licking County, Ohio, described yesterday's bee attack as 'totally unprovoked'.

"I was outside washing my car and suddenly this bee comes out of nowhere and stings me on the hand." Brashworth, who was unable to identify the exact species of the insect to College Security, later told reporters that all he knew was that he'd been attacked by 'one angry bee'.

"One minute I'm, like, 'wax on, wax off' like Mr Miyagi, then next thing I know I'm on my knees going, like, what-the-f*&< ?!"

The victim, who admits to being a life-long fan of nature and the outdoors, admits that he is reconsidering his views today. "You read about this sort of thing happening to other people but you don't take it seriously. All the bees I've seen in the past have left me alone."


Since the attack, Brashworth claims he has killed a number of bees, mostly of the species apis mellifera, out of retribution as well as a concern for public safety. "When I got back from my check-up with my physician, some of my buddies and I went out and killed some bees who were hanging around the area. I'm not comfortable admitting it," Brashworth told reporters. "Since yesterday I've been all, like, 'death to all bees' and stuff. I'm not proud of it but then - I didn't start this sh*t either."

Brashworth admitted that part of him was acting on behalf of the community.

"It really sucks being the target of random aggression from the insect community like that. The bee that went after me had a very bad attitude. It's been really tough on my girlfriend Amy who, by the way, has been like a rock for me these past twenty-four hours. I don't want what happened to me to happen to anybody else. "

While the bee that attacked Todd hasn't been found, entymologists say that such attacks are usually sporadic. "It is an unfortunate fact that some bees will attack humans, because they're prejudiced or whatever. If you see a bee, the important thing to do is stay calm and try not to give off fear. Try and give it some space."

Todd Brashworth will be appearing on Oprah in September to discuss the attack.
