So many bees covered a Guatemalan mother protecting her child that a Border Patrol agent believed he saw a bundle of clothing.
What the agent actually witnessed were thousands of bees covering a mother who had been curled over her 8-year-old son to protect him in Texas.
“Upon closer investigation, the agent realized the bundle was a person curled up in the fetal position,” CBP said in a statement to CNN.
The agent called for the woman to seek shelter in his patrol car. At that point, the agent realized “the person was covering a small child.”
The woman and her son ran into the patrol car while waiting for an ambulance to arrive. Once the child began vomiting, the unnamed agent rushed the mother and child to a hospital, where they were placed in an intensive care unit.
The mother and child are expected to recover and then be processed by immigration officials upon their release from the hospital.
