A 66-year-old woman has been found dead on a dirt road in Saxony-Anhalt. Police believe she was attacked and stung by bees while picking flowers.

Only a beekeeper was able to calm the bees down again. Bee expert: The smell of hairspray, perfume or aftershave can also put bees in a state of alarm. The owner of the bees has fulfilled the requirements of the authorities for his hives, the Burgenlandkreis says.
