BUDDYMOON DAY 392/1000 (VLOG 108)
This was our worst travel experience. We were attacked by a swarm of bees on the 9 Arch Bridge in Elle, Sri Lanka. Before visiting this famous tourist destination, we had never heard of the bee hives under the bridge. There was not only 1 hive... but 4 hives under the arches. The bees inside these hives were giant honey bees, which are twice the size of a normal honey bee.
When we were attacked, I (Daniel) stood still because they will not attack if you are not threating them. I was not stung the entire time up until the point a bee tried to get into my ear. I tried to flick the bee off to prevent this from happening and because the bee felt threated by me trying to flick it, it stung me. This is when all the bees started to sting and that's when I decided to run. I ran to the opposite side of the bridge to Leanne as I felt that it was closer. This resulted in us being apart for 30 minutes without any communication. We were also rushed to hospital as I (Daniel) was stung over 50 times, and Leanne was stung over 30 times.
After the incident, we spoke to the locals who said that bee attacks are a common occurrence on this bridge, especially when there are drones. We wish there were warning signs. We hope no one else has to experience what we went through, but we are so grateful that the locals helped us so quickly and for the fact that we are not allergic. This could have ended very differently if we were.
If you ever go to the 9 arch bridge, just be aware that there are bees.

These bees donβt usually attack unless they are provoked. Iβm 100% sure this was due to a drone flown under the bridge by someone. Glad you are ok. Be safe. Same happens in Sigiriya too.
