Sensationalism at its best. A town taken over by bees, the sky was black. Yet no-one was stung, maimed or eaten alive! And look, the sky is still blue!

I missed this on the news this morning. At our Bee meeting last night we were splitting the hives to prevent this. They are blaming new bee keepers and Hobbyists. TBH I think they were just looking for a good story. ---

I don’t understand how they can say "terrifying 15 minute attack by millions of stinging bees." Was anyone stung? Were bee’s just doing as nature intended and looking for a home? But people are so disconnected from nature that they see everything as an attack, or to do with them? aaahhhhh ---

lol and in the video “3 bees got into the office”! Yes @Faroe the story and video sharply outlines a disconnect from nature. Yet I thought I heard awe or amazement in the person’s voice on the video. ---

I hope the local beekeepers grab this opportunity to educate the town residents. The bee experience surely fascinated a few who would want to learn more about the wonder of bees. Yes, they should use humor to get people to listen. Of course the British would know this 😄
