World Cup crowd can’t hear approaching bee swarm over annoying buzz horns, thousands treated for stings

South Africa - Unable to hear above the din of those annoying horns, thousands were taken by surprise and stung. The bees, lured by the high-pitched horns, formed a veritable cloud over the stadium.

But international soccer is ever the sport of stamina and determination, and officials allowed the game between Antarctica and Tibet to continue until one of the teams could muster a goal.

South Africa's Bee Removal and Pest Control specialist Lars Nolsen (pictured left) and his team of three insectologists, hardly equipped to fight such an apiological disaster, improvised and were able to clear the air by sending two thousand gallons of Febreze and Raid through a pressure washer.

Other than mild anaphylaxis and some discoloration, no one was permanently injured. A cadre of FIFA psychotherapists remain on hand to deal with the psychological aftermath.
