In a Shocking Twist, An Unexpected Encounter With Bees at a Golf Course in Arizona Turns Into a Horrid Nightmare For an Innocent Man

Bees on golf courses are nothing new to witness. And we have already come across one such sight at TPC Sugarloaf back in May. A video of honey bee breeding has gone viral amid the 2023 Mitsubishi Electric Classic, which has garnered the attention of the golf community hugely, and golf enthusiasts were amused at the sight.

Yet another incident in Arizona has caught the limelight. But this time, the situation is not subject to entertainment but is more horrendous and severe. Let’s dive into the story!

An unexpected twist of events makes a golf course the sight of a maleficent ordeal

While weekends are usually for good times and relaxation, a severe incident on Saturday took a toll on a man’s life. At Pebblebrook Golf Course, a maintenance worker was attacked heinously by a swarm of bees. This happened after the guileless man encountered a beehive. 

The officials of the Arizona Fire and Medical Authority told that this man was in his 50s and was stung by bees around 2000 times, which is almost a near-death experience.

Additionally, when the firefighters reached the location to rescue him, they initially thought he was covered in grass clippings. This statement has been asserted by a spokesperson for AFMA. But as they approached the man and got a close view, they discovered that they were bees instead. 

According to a report, the investigation team is not yet sure how the bees came into contact with him. Finally, firefighters who wore bee hoods and turnouts rescued the man, using foam to suppress the bees.

The opening round of the Mexico Open saw a swarm of bees fly inside the golf course. The bees circled around Erik van Rooyen at the Vidanta Vallarta amid the ongoing game, forcing him to hit the turf. The reaction to the bees also amazed the commentators and one of them said, “That is the most unusual thing I have ever seen on a golf course!”

Once the coast was clear, everybody shared a laugh over the incident. The South African player remarked on the fiasco that he didn’t intend to get “stung by those bad boys.”
