A large swarm of bees wreaked terror on Lance Gibbs Street, Queenstown yesterday morning, sending students from a nearby school and residents running for cover while stinging several persons and leaving one dog dead and two others injured.
Two persons including a security guard were forced to seek medical attention yesterday.
The hive which was hidden in the thick bush on an abandoned plot of land next door to World of Flowers was subsequently removed by apiculturist Linden Stewart.
