The incident is the second such run in with bees in the North County in two days, after a mother walked into a swarm of bees while walking with her baby and dog in Rancho Bernardo on Tuesday.

A neighbor heard the woman's screams and came to her aid, pulling her baby and her away from the scene. 

The baby was reportedly okay but the mother was taken by ambulance to Palomar Medical Center to receive treatment for her injuries.
