Bee in his bonnet: Man finds a hive in his motorcycle helmet

MELAKA: A factory safety officer in Alor Gajah made a buzzworthy discovery when he found a beehive inside his motorcycle helmet.

Alor Gajah Civil Defence Force (APM) operation officer Leftenan (PA) Abdul Hadi Baharom said the safety officer was about to return home at 4.25pm on Saturday (Jan 5) when he saw a swarm of bees inside his helmet.

"The safety officer had parked his motorcycle at the parking bay of the factory in the morning on Saturday (Jan 5)," he said on Sunday (Jan 6).

Abdul Hadi said four APM personnel rushed to the scene soon after being alerted and managed to smoke out the bees from the helmet.

"We managed to complete the task by 5.15pm," he said.

Abdul Hadi said this was the first time his men had to deal with an emergency where bees made a hive inside a motorcycle helmet.

"We have managed cases relating to beehives on top of trees and ceilings of houses but this is the first time we are attending to such a peculiar case," he added.
