Darwin Olympics: Burglar Learns the Hard Way that Stealing is Not the Bee’s Knees

Meanwhile in London . . .

Some burglar tried to hijack some stuff by scaling an 8 foot building to gain access to the roof, and jump down on the other side in an effort to steal some tools and machinery from the yard.

However, the wood-be thief (haha, get it)  landed on some hives and was strait up attacked by swarms of bees.

Around 80,000 bees, that is!

Pretty sure this dude or dudette wanted to hop back up just as fast as s/he’d hopped down.

Dale Gibson is the award winning beekeeper who’s compound was the scene of the almost-crime.

Dale shared, “Although they can’t see in the dark, bees can find enough reason to go three feet and drive off attackers. That’s how they would have viewed the incursion by our would-be burglar.”

He continues, “It meant that nothing was stolen, no locks were tried, and presumably the person who jumped down was pretty inclined to jump up again … but not without having an up-close moment with agitated bees who really meted out their own form of insect justice.”

While the hives were able to be put back together and no honey stock was lost, there were some causalities, unfortunately, but we’re sure those bees gave as good as they got.

Dale says, “Bees only sting if they feel under attack and a hive acts as a single unit, so an individual bee will sacrifice itself for the hive.”

Dale and his wife, Sarah Wyndham Lewis, decided not to report the incident or have authorities open an investigations because they believe, “natural justice has been served.”
