A horrified mum feared her son would die when he was engulfed in a swarm of bees - leaving her sucking 40 stings out of him. Jo Evans was at her local rugby club with friends and family when her four-year-old Brody-Jac was mobbed by a colony of honey bees. The 39-year-old was sitting at the side of the pitch with a group of friends 'a stone's throw away' from where her two children and other kids were playing on a bank in September.
Unbeknownst to her, the children had accidentally disturbed a honey bee hive while throwing stones into a stream - aggravating the winged insects.

The civil servant, who lives near Swansea, said the ordeal made her immediately think of the 1991 film My Girl in which the protagonist Thomas - played by Macalauy Culkin - suffers a fatal allergic reaction to a honey bee sting.
Jo's husband - 36-year-old social worker Jason Evans - sprinted over to rescue little Brody-Jac, suffering several bee stings himself. The terrified mum then began sucking out the bee stings from her tot's body after he was stung dozens of times across his arms, back and head. Fearing their son could go into anaphylactic shock at any moment, the parents rushed Brody-Jac to hospital where luckily he made a full recovery.
