She was rushed to the hospital after a neighbor, Todd Lackner, heard her screams and ran out to help get her baby and dog out of the area while she ran.
10News spoke with Lackner following the incident.
"She swatted them away from her face and they came back," Lackner said. "It looked like she had a beard."
Danney said only after she began running did the bees begin to peel away from her.
"I'm just gonna keep saying it. He really saved our lives," Danney said.
