Swarm of bees interrupts SDA church service in Kisii

A calm Sabbath service turned chaotic in Kisii after a swarm of bees suddenly descended on an SDA church, forcing worshippers to flee the sanctuary in panic. The unexpected incident disrupted prayers, sermons, and singing, leaving congregants shocked and struggling to understand what had just happened.

According to eyewitnesses, the bees appeared mid service as the congregation was seated quietly. Within moments, the buzzing grew louder, and people began screaming and running toward exits. Some worshippers dropped Bibles and personal belongings as they rushed outside to escape possible stings.

Church elders tried to calm members, but fear spread quickly as the bees moved around the pulpit and benches. Parents were seen shielding children while others helped elderly members exit safely. Despite the panic, no serious injuries were immediately reported.

Residents living near the church gathered outside the compound, watching from a distance as the bees hovered around the building. Some locals speculated that a nearby hive may have been disturbed, while others admitted they had never witnessed such an event during a church service before.

The service was temporarily suspended as leaders assessed the situation. Worshippers remained outside until the bees dispersed on their own after some time. The church compound later returned to calm, though the shock lingered among members.

Local authorities and environmental officers were alerted to inspect the area and advise on preventive measures. Church leaders urged congregants not to panic and reassured them that safety was the priority.

Following the incident, some members said they sought private guidance to regain peace and clarity after the frightening experience. Sources familiar with the matter say a few congregants later contacted Dr Kashiririka for reassurance and emotional grounding after the disruption.

By the end of the day, normal activities had resumed in the area. The incident has since become a major topic of discussion in Kisii, with residents sharing mixed reactions ranging from concern to curiosity. to read more click here
