Wait, That Actually Happened? Mind-bending Historical Moments You Won’t Believe

The Battle of the Bees

Something unusual occurred at the Battle of Tanga, a significant battle in 1915. German and British troops were engaged in a firefight and failed to notice they were disturbing a swarm of bees nearby.

The bees didn’t like it. Many became buzzing, and the British soldiers got the worst of it. They stung the soldiers so badly that they had to run away. One poor guy got bitten 200 times. Who knew that bees could have such an unexpected impact on a war?
