The bees are believed to have been disturbed by the mosque’s speakers, which are located next to their nest.
The road outside the mosque was shut down and fire crews dispatched to spray the building with foam in order to quell the swarms of angry bees.

Who are they going to blame for this?
Apparently it’s not just some humans that find the Muslim call to prayer like nails on a chalkboard.
One man hospitalized and more than 20 stung as swarm of up to 20,000 KILLER BEES attack people at Arizona mosque
- The attack came Friday afternoon at Muslim Community Mosque, Phoenix
- All of the stung people were said to be in stable condition
- The bees built their nest in the mosque’s eaves and were angered by noise
- Africanized bees, or ‘killer bees’ are a particularly aggressive strain At this time of the year they tend to build new nests in secluded spaces
By James Wilkinson For Dailymail.com, April 5, 2017:
More than 20 people were stung and one hospitalized when a swarm of up to 20,000 killer bees invaded a Phoenix mosque Friday afternoon.
The incident occurred at the Muslim Community Mosque near 32nd Street and McDowell Road, ABC 15 reported.
The road outside the mosque was shut down and fire crews dispatched to spray the building with foam in order to quell the swarms of angry bees.
The bees had formed a nest under the eaves of the mosque. One mosque worker there toldAzfamily.com that a man had already been booked for Saturday to remove the nest but the bees attacked earlier than expected.Nearby residents were told to stay in their homes. John Chavarria, one such local, told ABC 15 that he witnessed the attack from his house.
‘I don’t know, it was just crazy how everyone was running everywhere,’ he said.
Miming swatting at bees around his head, he continued: ‘They were making some movements like that … some people would even fall in the grass over there and then they’d get up and start running.
‘I can’t believe they had the whole street blocked off for the bees.’

Some worshipers used blankets to protect themselves from the swarm, but more than 20 were stung ‘multiple times’ and one 24-year-old man hospitalized, although everyone was said to be in stable condition.
One man told Azfamily.com that he was stung on the face in five different places.
The bees are believed to have been disturbed by the mosque’s speakers, which are located next to their nest.
Nest: The nest, in the building’s eaves, is thought to have been disturbed by the building’s speaker system. Bees build new nests around this time of year, and it is suggested people check their homes once a week
Killer bees, officially known as Africanized bees, are a particularly aggressive species. They are created by breeding European and African bees.
Joseph Mikesell with Truly Nolen Pest Control told Fox 10: ‘It’s always a bad situation when you’re talking about Africanized bees, because once one bee creates a pheromone which sends off the other bees to attack.’
‘What people just need to understand is they cannot outrun them, they’re not going to sink under water and stay away from them, they’re not going to just knock them off, they need to stay away from them.
‘If you see bee activity, get inside – don’t try and take care of it yourself, contact a professional and let us take care of the situation.’
Emily Brown, a beekeeper, told Azfamily.com that bees are likely to be especially aggressive now, as this is when new queens split off to form their own hives in stable locations such as eaves and composting bins.
She suggests checking places that might prove attractive to bees once a week.
And as the weather gets warmer, bees will become more productive – and therefore more protective of their homes.
Firefighters told the channel that bee attacks are most likely between now and June, and that if attacked it is important to get into an enclosed space such as a building or car – and don’t swat the bees as it will make them madder.

I guess they are unbeelievers “radicalized” by Zionists or Trump. For the most part, bees are an insect of peace.

Succinctly, but accurately put. I also suspect that the State of Israel will be blamed for the heinous gas attack in Syria as well. These Islamic’s are clearly very soft in the head. They have the ability to take charge of their lives and emulate the industrious and productive environment that is Israel, by simply rejecting their fallacious “occupier” claim and “death to Israel philosophy,” and afford Israel defensive borders, but, even there, they fail to be able to see the appropriate reality. As recently stated by the Egyptian and Jordanian leaders, the conflict that the Palestinians continue to allow fester is the condition that disables the Arab world from compromising and bettering their lives; yet they simply cannot recognize what truly is in their best interest in that part of the world. When they finally recognize that they are the actual cause of their very own problems, everywhere, maybe things will change for their betterment and the world’s betterment.

Particularly the “peaceful” killer bees. It is herd to tell the difference until they sting without warning therefore we have to assume that all bees are dangerous.

Islam’s bewitched prophet had a set of instructions as to how Muslims can determine if a snake was a believing snake or a non-beliving one worthy of death. He praised the medicinal benefits of honey (Sadly, diabetics weren’t warned of the potential harm of honey – Diabetic shock?! Mashallah!) yet was silent on how to determine if the busy bodies are believing bees. For the sake of the brethren of the believing bee Islamic scholars from around the world should consult with one another and issue a fatwa so Muslims who stand in front of Allah on Judgment Day do not face the possibility they have to account for their disregard of the believing bee.

The irony is….were the spies to have agreed with Caleb and Joshua, God would have cleared the land for the Israelites to take immediate possession.
How would he clear the land for them?
He would send bees before his people….

Smart bees. The cacaphonous “call to prayer” which sounds like a man sick to his stomach is extremely annoying, I don’t blame the bees one bit for being offended, isn’t cosmic karma grand.

The bees are no doubt another SpecOps unit of the zionist cabal. They join the Israeli sharks and squirrels in bringing torment to the ummah worldwide.

There you have it. Mosques are proven to be a public nuisance and a threat to public safety to the point of being an attractive breeding ground for dangerous pests, insect and other species as well. Condemn and level the joint!
