In an intriguing incident in Phayao province, a welder managed to attract a swarm of bees without being stung. It is a folk belief that such an event can presage fortune and good luck for the individual involved. The incident sparked a trend among locals, eager to tempt their fate, as they marvel at these harmless bee swarms.

 

The welder in question is a native of the Ban Saang sub-district in the Muang district of Phayao province. He was reportedly working on a roofing project inside a local temple when the peculiar interaction took place. After settling for a while, a swarm of bees came flying in and began to hover around him. This has become a daily occurrence and doesn’t bring any harm. As the local folklore suggests, this could mean that the person whom the bees hover around without causing any harm may experience good fortune, reported KhaoSod.
