I do not like bees! 
RICHMOND, Texas, June 2 (UPI) -- A preliminary autopsy indicates a south Texas rancher apparently attacked by a swarm of bees while on his tractor died from insects' stings.
Although the death of Bruce Harrison, 54, is still under investigation, the Galveston County medical examiner's office says it appears he died from hemorrhaging and secondary causes were heart disease and multiple bee stings, the Houston Chronicle reported Wednesday.
Deputies said Harrison was found lying next to the tractor. He had spoken on the telephone an hour before being found.
The medical examiner's office said it would issue a final autopsy report shortly.
Harrison's death is the second in two weeks attributed to an attack by a swarm of bees.
Last week an East Texas logger died after he was stung hundreds of times by a swarm of bees.
