Bees Give Firemen Hot Time in Putting Out Blaze in Tree

Santa Paula, Calif., March 22 [1951] – (AP) – The Santa Paula fire laddies didn’t reckon with the bees when they were summoned to quell a tree fire.

A group of youngsters had found a bee tree. They tried to smoke out the bees but succeeded only in setting fire to the tree.

By the time the firemen got there the bees were stingin’ mad. Firemen stood 100 feet away and blasted the tree with 600 gallons of water. That ended the fire and the bees – but one of the firemen sustained several good-sized lumps.

The youngsters? They got the honey.
