CNN —In the world of sport, there are many reasons for games to be suspended or postponed.
At a cricket festival in Ireland, a game had to be suspended as a swarm of bees descended onto the pitch forcing everyone in the vicinity to hide from the buzzy mob.
The live stream showing the event declared “bees stop play” as the presence of the bees near the clubhouse meant the game had to be suspended for 112 minutes before it could be restarted.
The local beekeeper arrived at the cricket ground and found the queen bee – rescuing the cricket fans, players, and umpires from the swarm.
The Knights ended up winning the game by seven wickets, overcoming their opponents and the 20,000-strong swarm along the way.
