Dozens of students were left needing medical attention after a swarm of enraged bees attacked a school, with teachers and children fleeing in terror. At least 32 students were left needing treatment after the swarm descended upon Ramachandra Nodal High School, a government-run school near the Indian town of Kendrapara on the Bay of Bengal.
The school was reportedly holding an annual event at the time of the attack, with teachers and pupils in the grounds to attend the function when the bees attacked. The insects had established a two-foot-long colony in a tree on the school grounds but had remained peaceful until the day of the school event. One teacher said that the bees became agitated after a group of monkeys disturbed their hive.
The furious swarm tore through the school grounds stinging more than 32 students and several teachers, spreading panic among those gathered for the celebration. The injured students were rushed to a community health center (CHC) in Derabish for treatment of their bee stings. Following medical attention, Kishore Tarai, the inspector of the Derabish police station, confirmed that all individuals were in stable condition.
Meanwhile in Wales, a horrified mum said she was forced to suck 40 stings out of her son after he was engulfed in a swarm of bees. Jo Evans, 39, was at her local rugby club with friends and family when her four-year-old Brody-Jac was mobbed by a colony of honey bees.
