  7. 8 hikers were treated for a bee attack on Camelback Mountain

    -Arizona news, watch out for bees!! 🐝🐝

    *Wear the right clothes!
    Remember no floral or bright colors.
    Long sleeves are better- protect your skin.

    *Recognize areas where bees thrive.
    Wildflowers, water sources, and shade, will attract bees.
    They can also be found in orchards or in hidden areas off trails with dense vegetation.
