Killer Bee Attack
From "When Animals Attack." An old man mowing his lawn is attacked by a relentless swarm of Africanised Killer Bees. Then the bees go after his son and a cop who try to rescue him. The footage is a little too comprehensive; I think part of the story may have been recreated with domestic bees, for the TV show. But it's still great audio and video.
