Authorities evacuated the area Saturday after the swarm of about
3,000 bees emerged from the woods around the West Noble High School
football field, where 700 people were participating in a fundraising
walk for the American Cancer Society. The bees landed on a large
umbrella shading the campsite of one of the more than 60 teams
taking part in the 24-hour event in the town, 40 miles northwest of
Fort Wayne.
A local beekeeper, Matt Green, used a smoke machine to calm the
bees and coax them into a beehive he brought to the field. The event
was delayed about 45 minutes.
