Fortean Times #30 (undated; circa 1979), p. 13, carried this summary of a report from the 12 August 1977 Daily Telegraph. “A man who went fishing on the banks of the Amazon’s Rio Negro was attacked by infuriated bees after he struck their nests while trying to free his line from a tree. To escape, he leapt into the river, where he was devoured by piranha fish.” I have no idea whether we have here a contemporary legend or two hopefully rare examples of bees and piranhas cooperating in doing in fishermen.
