SNYDER, Texas — Firefighters were battling not flames, but bees in Texas after a man was attacked by a swarm from a large hive.
In a series of Facebook posts, the Snyder Volunteer Fire Department shared videos and a photo showing the process of addressing the bee problem. Firefighters said they were called to the scene after a man was attacked by the bees.
In one post, showing the remnants of the hive, the fire department described the bees as “particularly aggressive at the moment,” noting that the large hive had thousands of bees.
It’s unclear how seriously the victim was hurt, though the fire department noted that bee stings can be fatal for people with allergies, KTAB reported.
The process to remove the bees and hive had firefighters asking area residents to be on alert and advising high school students to avoid the area during their lunch, KCBD reported.
