A swarm of bees caused a stir in Alexandria after thousands of the insects settled on a car parked near a medical clinic and a bank, temporarily blocking access to the area. The unusual incident generated a wave of reactions online.
According to witnesses, the swarm initially gathered on the car in the parking lot, after which it spread to the surrounding areas, including the facade of the buildings. Due to the large number of insects, several people called the emergency number 112.
Thus, fire crews intervened on the scene, and the local authorities requested the support of a beekeeper to capture and relocate the swarm.
The area was temporarily cordoned off and pedestrian access was restricted until the intervention was completed.
The images sparked numerous comments on social media, from ironies to remarks about the intervention of the authorities.
