A Ukrainian website is reporting that multiple Russian soldiers were killed and even more left injured during a bee sting attack in Ukraine.
Kherson-News.net reported three Russian soldiers died and 25 others were hospitalized in the attack. The bees were reported to have left a hive near the village of Chelburda and flew into a nearby Russian camp, where they attacked the soldiers due to a lack of food.
The story was aggregated and cited by the Daily Star, however, has not been fully verified as of Friday (April 1).
Russian President Vladimir Putin announced his country would conduct military operations in Eastern Ukraine during an NBC News translation of a speech addressing the Russian population in Moscow on February 24.
The announcement appeared to serve as the final action ahead of an attack by Putin and the Russian military, which the U.S. and European allies to the neighboring Ukraine have attempted to prevent from taking place through diplomatic discussions.
A Ukraine interior minister confirmed to NBC News via text message that "cruise and ballistic missile strikes" were already underway shortly after Putin's announcement.
NBC News correspondent Erin McLaughlin said explosions could be heard from her live shot in Kyiv, Ukraine's capital city, at 6:00 a.m. local time.
More than 1,000 protesters were reportedly arrested during anti-war protests throughout Russia amid President Putin's announcement to conduct military operations and ensuing attack on Ukraine, BNO News reported.

I only raised bees for a season or 2 but my Dad did for many years (and I was the unpaid help). I’m fairly sure most of the Ukraine is still chilly….and bees are cold blooded.
Probably from /pol
I don’t think that there are that many people who would go into shock from a honeybee sting. If there were, the Pentagon would be looking at it.
Ghost Bees of Kiev!
Weaponized African Bees
This is a joke. It’s about the same temperature here as it is in Ukraine. The local arboretum has a honey bee display and as of last weekend the new ones had not yet hatched.
BTW, a horse fly hurts a lot more than a honey bee. This story can’t be true.
Murder Hornets look on with envy, then say ‘Hold my Pollen...and watch this!”
Fake news.
What’s the date today?
Can’t help but think of the angry queen bee that Steve Vai dreamed about, and wrote a song... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LPgsizQw-1U
The bees were reportedly humming ... the Ukrainian national anthem.
“I don’t think that there are that many people who would go into shock from a honeybee sting.”
I’m one of them. Eli-Pens everywhere.

...and they had blue stripes to go with their yellow coloring.
This is the famous Snake Island subspecies - if you can come back from the dead, getting aggressive in cold weather is a snap.
April 1st, but so funny.
This reads like an April Fools hoax. Bees are not carnivores who like to feast on humans.
“...due to a lack of food.” LOL. If they attack as a swarm it’s only to defend their hive.
For lack of food they went to Russian soldiers. Very funny. 4/1/22.
