Bees blow the ants away

It was fascinating to read an article about a visiting Chinese student who accidentally dropped a blob of honey near a Rhodes University beehive and saw the bees using their wings to try and “blow the ants away”.

Ming-Xian Yang saw the bees flapped their wings with such force they blew ants off their feet.

He said: "Before I came to South Africa, my friends liked to make a joke: be careful of your steps, there is a diamond under your foot! When I came back I said , sorry guys, I didn’t find any diamond under foot, but I did find one in front of the beehives.”
