I find it hard to believe a swarm of bees appeared "out of nowhere" There is a chunk of detail missing...pretty typical for USA Today as a news source though.

Yeah - the news is pretty frustrating about that - often the one piece of data I actually clicked on the link to see isn't there. In AZ, the assumption has to be AHB, right?

My guess would be that they were not observant and just did not see the AHB. Probably had a colony on the ground and stepped right on it.

What I know about AHB indicates they guard a larger area surrounding the hive. Especially if they have been recently disturbed. Reports of attack that I'm aware of generally say they came out of nowhere. Maybe because people don't pay attention or because the attack is unlike any other.

Average is overrated

Quite difficult matters can be explained even to a slow-witted man, if only he has not already adopted a wrong opinion about them; but the simplest things cannot be made clear even to a very intelligent man if he is firmly persuaded that he already knows, and knows indubitably, the truth of the matter under consideration. -Leo Tolstoy
