A wedding reception was disrupted at Rehoboth over the weekend when an angry swarm of bees attacked the party.

The incident left a number of guests, including the bride, in the hospital, while the groom was also not spared. It is believed that 10 wedding guests were admitted to St. Mary's Hospital for multiple bee stings.

Bystanders said a group of kids messed with the bees who were nesting in the vicinity of the hall where the wedding reception was to be held.

The situation quickly spiralled out of control when the large, angry swarm of bees retaliated, pursuing the fleeing children who fled to their parents and guardians, who had just returned from the customary photo session with the bridal couple.

Pandemonium ensued, with some people passing out on the scene, while the bees left in their wake a number of swollen faces and bodies. They were treated at St. Mary's Hospital.
