A Florida resident discovered thousands of bees beneath the dog cage that he keeps outside in his backyard.

Three of his dogs died and two puppies were fighting for their lives on Monday night after the bee hive was discovered by the resident, who also was reportedly stung in an attack of the bees.

A professional beekeeper was called in to remove the bees and the enormous hive that was found.

It has not been determined yet by experts whether or not these bees are aggressive "Africanized" bees.
