Some friends provoked a massive swarm of bees near their home in response to a home invasion. I'm not complaining about the outcome, but let's just say if we lived in the Harry Potter universe, that would've been the first day I could see thestrals.
Whoa so the bees were like a home security system?
Yes, there was a massive hive nearby, and the right impact to a hive could rile up a whole hive. However, bees cannot distinguish between suspects and bystanders or even between life forms, as they see forms of life based on the infrared life emits, which means they respond by stinging everything in sight, which is why, when you see people dare each other to beehive aggravation, everyone runs as fast as they can.
Despite the law, me and my friends are big on booby traps, them because of really bad experiences, and I forgot how I got into it. Along comes, well, every American agency to ever exist, since they're all worse than Romans in authoritarianism. I forget which one it was, but they set the beehive up with one of those things you ring a mechanical gong with, and they saved their kids from being taken in this manner, unless I'm confusing it with the time both SWAT and the CPS came over at the same time and just ended up fighting with each other, reminiscent of Ottoman soldiers attacking themselves.
