Dog suffers 700 bee stings in failed hive removal attempt.

Chance, a 100-pound Rottweiler-pit bull mix, died in a California animal hospital after being stung more than 700 times by a swarm of bees. The dog was playing outside when a neighbor tried to remove a large bee nest from his wooden fence. The neighbor was able to escape on a golf cart, but the bees attacked Chance. A GoFundMe page was set up to help with medical bills, which raised more than $10,700. Chance received a blood transfusion but ultimately passed away.

Delta flight delayed for 3 hours due to bee swarm on wing at Houston airport.

A Delta Airlines flight from Houston to Atlanta was delayed for about three hours after a swarm of bees congregated on the wingtip of the plane. Crews were unable to remove the bees, and a beekeeper was not allowed to touch the airplane. The captain eventually decided to taxi the plane, and the bees left the wing once the plane was pushed back. This is not the first time bees have caused a flight delay, as a similar incident occurred in 2019 with a Southwest flight.
