A man has died in Queensland after being stung dozens of times in the face and throat by bees.

The man was found slumped at the door of his car in a town near Towoomba.

Paramedics struggled to get to his body because it was surrounded by hundreds of swarming bees and there were more bees inside the vehicle.

The man may have been an amateur beekeeper who found the abandoned bees at the local dump.
