A big group of people from a political party called the BJP were riding motorcycles in a parade called a Tiranga Yatra.

The parade was happening in a town called Dewas in Madhya Pradesh, India.

Suddenly, a big swarm of bees started stinging the riders.

About 40 to 50 people got stung, and one person got stung around 200 times and was hurt very badly.

The bees got angry because a loud music van bumped into their home, which was a beehive in a tree.

Hundreds of bees flew out to protect their home and attacked the riders.

Some of the riders hid in a soybean field to get away from the bees.

Later, they were brought out of the field.

All the people who got stung were taken to hospitals to get help.

The bees were probably just trying to protect their home.
