Bees Force Cancellation

Sep 21st, 2011 | Category: Bee Science

The final round of a college golf tournament in Fort Worth was called off because of bees. The event, Texas-Arlington’s UTA/Waterchase Invitational, was canceled after a limb from a tree holding an estimated 70,000 bees fell and exposed a beehive at the 18th hole. Bees were swarming the area in minutes, and several people were stung, though none seriously.

A beekeeper was called in and recommended the area be cleared for several hours, prompting officials to call off the event early in the final round. Results reverted to the rounds played Monday. Wichita State won.
