Totally Insane and Dangerous Wild Animal Encounters

Don't Mess with Bees

Kids are always curious, but in this case, one little boy was a bit too curious...

"I outran a swarm of bees...I went exploring a lot, it was really cool. I found a bees nest in a huge fallen tree. I had watched a lot of cartoons and wanted to know if the bees would come out in an arrow and get me if I whacked it with a stick. So I did. They did not. I was disappointed and climbed around the fallen tree. The bees do attack, just not immediately. And not in an arrow. In a cloud. Suddenly they were all around me. I sprinted home, about 2k, and if I slowed down the bees caught up. I ran into our yard and shut the gate, thinking I was safe. I wasn’t, obviously and got stung a few times. I deserved it though, don’t go beating up animal homes."
