Thousands of bees flew to a beach in Italy, then decided to land on a beach umbrella
According to authorities, no one was harmed.
Several thousand bees suddenly appeared over a beach near Rimini — and then settled on a single beach umbrella. Curious vacationers rushed to photograph the swarm, but local authorities later cordoned off this section of the beach for safety reasons, reports Bild.
Fortunately, a beekeeper who was urgently called was able to remove the bees.
According to authorities, no one was harmed. Experts believe that a queen bee decided to land on the umbrella — and the rest of the insects followed her.
Just a few days ago, a similar incident occurred on another beach in Riccione, also near Rimini.
Alessandro Miani, President of the Italian Society of Environmental Medicine, linked these incidents to the current weather on Rai TV, specifically to high temperatures. These are higher than usual for this time of year. Bees, wasps, and other insects become more aggressive because of this and seek places closer to water. In the Rimini area, temperatures have been above thirty degrees in recent days.
