He is about to end up run over, his mother saves himIn Genoa, in the Marassi district, a swarm of bees covered a large part of a motorcycle belonging to a resident who, having parked it and having moved away from his two-wheeled vehicle, found the surprise upon his return.
Citizens and onlookers gathered around the vehicle even if seeing a swarm of bees is not at all a rare phenomenon at this time of year, indeed it is precisely towards the end of April and early May that the so-called swarming of bees, that is when some loyal workers abandoning the hive, following the old queen bee, and moving with it in search of a new colony. In fact, a new queen will be born in their previous home.
Finding all those bees in front of them, the owner of the motorbike alerted the Police and the Fire Brigade, who arrived on the spot together with some beekeepers in charge of bringing the bees to a safer place. The swarm was in fact transferred to a hive. Only a few days earlier, again in Genoa, another swarm of bees had also invaded a boat.
In the event that you spot a swarm of bees, you must in fact contact the Fire Brigade on 115, or the single emergency number 112 or some beekeeper for a recovery intervention that is totally free.
Swarms of bees should not be bothered in any way, they are bees that migrate and do not sting unless they feel threatened. Let us remember then that these insects are one protected species throughout Europe in danger of extinction, whose role is essential for the ecosystem.
