A funeral in Ngurubani Mwea, Kirinyaga, took a bizarre turn when uninvited guests with wings and stingers crashed the solemn occasion.
Several mourners were hospitalized after bees, apparently disturbed by a honey-like scent, swarmed down from a tree, wreaking havoc on the grieving crowd.
Witnesses described the scene as chaotic, with mourners abandoning decorum and sprinting in all directions to escape the tiny invaders.
Some dove into bushes, while others flailed wildly as the bees continued their relentless attack.
The cause? Itâs reported that a mourner arrived wearing a perfume with a fragrance strikingly similar to honey.
.
The sweet aroma is believed to have lured the bees from their hive, turning the solemn farewell into an unintentional comedy of errors.
Medical personnel treated victims for stings, while locals couldnât help but marvel at the irony of beesâsymbols of industriousnessâbringing a funeral to a screeching halt.
While the mourners eventually found safety, the incident serves as a cautionary tale:
when attending events near nature, think twice before wearing scents that might attract the wrong kind of crowd. It seems even the animal kingdom has a say when it comes to fragrance!
