Bee Invasion on Thassos: Serbian Tourists Panic Over Unprecedented Swarm of Wasps and Bees!
Planning a summer getaway to the beautiful Greek island of Thassos? Think again! This year, tourists from Serbia are sounding the alarm about an invasion of bees and wasps that’s turning paradise into a buzzing nightmare. Those who have visited Thassos multiple times say they’ve never seen anything like it.
What’s Going On?
A Serbian tourist shared his experience in the popular Facebook group “Greece Info,” describing how the number of bees on Thassos has skyrocketed. Normally a part of the island’s charm, these bees have become a serious problem. Imagine trying to eat outdoors and being swarmed by 20 bees within two minutes! Locals blame the heat, lack of nectar, and recent wildfires for forcing the bees to descend in search of food.
Tourists React: Is This Normal?
Many agree the bee population is unusually high. Some say they’ve seen dozens of bees on the beach at once, while others have vowed never to return. One mother even said her child developed a trauma from the bee attacks. On the flip side, some tourists say this is nothing new and that they’ve always encountered many bees on Thassos.
What Do Locals Say?
Locals confirm that this year’s bee numbers are unprecedented. The heat and fires have pushed bees to forage in areas they usually avoid, putting tourists in direct conflict with nature. It’s not exactly the relaxing beach experience anyone signed up for.
How to Protect Yourself?
Unfortunately, tourists report that even repellents and other protective measures don’t help much. If you’re allergic, this could be a serious health risk. The best advice? Avoid eating outdoors, carry allergy medication, and stay alert.
Is Thassos Still a Tourist Paradise?
While Thassos is famous for its stunning beaches and friendly locals, this year the bees and wasps have stolen the spotlight – and not in a good way. If you’re planning a trip, pack patience and a sense of humor. After all, maybe these buzzing invaders are just nature’s way of reminding us who’s really in charge.
