Two hikers who sustained multiple bee stings were airlifted by the Fire Department helicopter out of an area behind the Luana Hills Golf Course in Kailua this afternoon.
The two men were among a party of four hikers who were attacked by bees about 1:23 p.m. The group was not able to continue and rescue personnel were called to help.
The helicopter took the two men to an area on Auloa Road, said Fire Capt. Earle Kealoha said.
They were treated at the scene, and taken to a nearby hospital in stable condition, said Bryan Cheplic, spokesman for the city Department of Emergency Services.
