Belagavi: Getting stung by bees is no laughing matter but there is some humour to be derived from the irony of being attacked by some of nature’s mini soldiers while you are inaugurating a Bio-Park.
State Minister for Forest, Ecology and Environment B Ramanath Rai fled towards his car after the honeybees started attacking him and the people gathered at the Bio-Park inauguration in Belagavi.
During the programme, when MP Suresh Angadi began his address to the gathering, a group of bees waged a war, stinging the minister and the others gathered at the inaugural ceremony. The minister was helpless against the mini soldiers’ tiny stings. Nature had the last laugh as the minister scrambled away from the scene to seek refuge in his car.
It is gathered that the bees were agitated as their hive was disturbed by the drone being used to film the programme.
More than 8 people were stung in the incident and few had to be taken to the district hospital.
