Men Pee on Beehive, Bees React

A bus in Quang Ngai province, Vietnam, pulled over on the side of the road to allow the men to relieve themselves. There was a beehive nearby, and one man thought it would be funny to urinate on the beehive. He convinced several other men to do the same, all at the same time. The bees were not happy, and swarmed out of the hive to sting the first body parts they came to. They also swarmed onto the bus and attacked other riders. Medics attended to 22 people who had been stung on their faces, hands, and penises. One person was taken to a hospital with swelling and a high fever. No word on whether that was the instigator. -via Uproxx


There are a number of troubling things here. The first is that you can say this about anyone: "one man thought it would be funny to urinate on the beehive." More troubling is this: "He convinced several other men to do the same."

Was there no one in the group with the low IQ necessary to say, "Umm...I don't think that's such a good idea?" Were these people perhaps going outside for the first times in their lives, with no exposure to books, magazines, television, the internet, that might have taught them not to pee on beehives?

I think that I will spend the rest of my day telling all I encounter they should avoid doing as these men did. You see, there are people in my life that I dislike - some, intensely - but none I dislike so much that I wish them bee stings on their genitals.

NO PEES FOR THE BEES!

Daniel, as a male, I'm not surprised that our gender carries out a disproportionate number of these kinds of acts. Miss C, I'm just gonna hope that when these guys sobered up, they didn't think, "Man that was fun."

Some time in the mid 20s my grandmother took pity on her bees during a very cold (cold for Kent, that is) winter and put a saucer of sugar water outside their hive. For her troubles, she was stung on both eyelids.
