A cricket match in Ireland had to be suspended as a swarm of bees descended onto the pitch forcing everyone in the vicinity to hide from the buzzy mob.
In the world of sport, there are many reasons for games to be suspended or postponed. Fans are used to seeing games stopped for downfalls of rain, heavy snow, injuries or even, as seen in recent days, smoke from wildfires. But have you ever heard of bees stopping play? At a cricket festival in Ireland, a game had to be suspended as a swarm of bees descended onto the pitch forcing everyone in the vicinity to hide from the buzzy mob.
The bees felt so at home that they even started to make a hive near the pavilion, where lots of the spectators were sat watching. The live stream showing the event declared “bees stop play” as the presence of the bees near the clubhouse meant the game had to be suspended for 112 minutes before it could be restarted. Mauro Dias, who works for local bee rescue service Buzz of Nature, was then called into action to save the day.
