Thousands of dead bees are washing up on a popular Naples beach. Some visitors to Lowdermilk Park Beach said they’re staying away after being stung while walking the shoreline. Many people said the bee problem has popped up during the past few days. “You don’t realize what you’re really stepping on,” said Martha Duff. “We try to watch out for them because we know they’re there,” said Felice Petty.
