Marathon Runners Attacked By Bees
Next time you set up a marathon course, steer clear of the bee farms:
Thirty-two runners were stung by honey bees while taking part in a marathon event in Saga on Sunday, local fire department officials said.
The runners were treated at a hospital, but their injuries are not serious, the officials said.
The 32 runners participating in the half-marathon race were attacked by a swarm of honey bees at around 10:50 a.m. Sunday when they were around the 11-kilometer point near an apiary, according to event organizers.
