Bees swarm on a section of flooring that was removed from a building where they had built their hive. Once Steve Baldock of Steve’s Beez has collected most of the bees and the queen, he will relocate them to one of his apiaries.

Ahmu was stung multiple times while attempting to rescue the dog sending her to the hospital. Two children were sent to the hospital as a result of bee stings but were quickly released, according to KUSI.

It is currently unknown what species of bee the swarm was made of.

Kona ***** at a nearby animal urgent care. Ahmu described the rescue and emotional support dog as a playful and having, “Peter Pan Syndrome.”

“She was so *******, still super active and hyper,” Ahmu told the station.
