On This Day in (Somewhat Inaccurate) History... August 22nd, 1897...

Sixty year-old Iowan farmer James Curran sets out to find and bring back a swarm of bees that had escaped into the woods.

No wait, there's more.

When he did not return with the swarm of bees within two days... because it shouldn't take more than two days to wrangle up bees - am I right? - a search party was sent to look for him.

They found Curran on a brush pile. Dead and partially burned.

The mystery of who committed this heinous crime has never been solved to this day, but it stands to reason that Iowa has some pretty hardcore bees that will go medieval on your ass.
