An unusual bee attack in France — Aurillac, France, left 24 people injured, with three initially in critical condition. The incident occurred on a Sunday morning, with passersby being stung for about 30 minutes. Pierre Mathonier, the mayor of France — Aurillac, suggested that Asian_hornets threatening a beehive on the roof terrace of the Hôtel_de_Bordeaux might have caused the bees to become aggressive.
