The woman in Hurley attacked by bees, Maureen "Moti" Costello, wanted to expand a bit on the bee attack the other day to warn people about the location, so others aren't harmed.
She also expressed her appreciation for the police officer who aided her and the police chief who sweetly brought her another dog after her dog Snoop died from the bee attack. She also thanked the neighbors who found her dog Snoop "although he was 'completely covered' in the bees. Which is why he died."
Costell also told the Beat that she had more like 50 stings as they were all in her hair and on her head which weren't visible at the time. She told the Beat she is doing fine after the attack.
This is what she wrote on her Facebook post, posted with her permission
"Hello....that was me who was attacked along with my little dog Snooper....who, unfortunately, did not survive. I think it had to do with someone taking their honey but leaving the hive and there were some nice people who found Snoop...who said they were going to go remove the hive tomorrow. I was lucky to find a little pool to get under the water in but it went on for a long time until the police helped me out.
"Thank you for saving my life! The attack was near the post office....on Cortez where the bend in the road is. R.I.P Snoop (the best friend ever)."
