The bees of Rock Creek Park are officially out to get us. At around 3:15 p.m., D.C. Fire/EMS responded to a call of multiple bee stings in the area near the horse stables inside the park, at 5000 Glover Rd. NW. Spokesperson Pete Piringer says that seven children and one adult suffered multiple stings, but none of them appeared to be in serious condition and no one needed to be taken to the hospital. This is now the third reported bee attack in the same area over the last week, after two incidents occurred last Thursday.

You’ve gotta appreciate the DC Fire/EMS Twitter feed’s sense of humor about the ongoing Bee Menace. To wit: “US Park Police APB – gang of bees – wearing yellow jacket last seen along path near horse stables – wanted for assault – armed and dangerous.”
