A Hadley woman is facing assault charges after allegedly unleashing a swarm of bees on sheriff’s deputies as they attempted to enforce an eviction last week.

Deputies were met with a cluster of protesters when they arrived at the $1.5 million Longmeadow home on Oct. 12 to enforce an eviction, according to MassLive.

Rorie Susan Woods, 55, allegedly pulled up to the scene in an SUV towing bee hives and began trying to open the hives to unleash the bees, the Hampden County Sheriff’s Office said in a news release.

“A Sheriff’s deputy tried to stop her, but as the agitated bees started getting out and circling the area, he pulled back,” officials said. “She then smashed the lid, and flipped a hive off of the flatbed, making the bees extremely aggressive. They swarmed the area and stung several officers and other innocent bystanders who were nearby.”

Wow, there seems to be a lot of buzz around this story

.....I'll show myself out

At least someone is trying to be a comic book villian

lol

Who forgot the bee repellant? Cmon guys this is basic stuff baton, cuffs,bee repellant, service revolver!

And a sympathetic one at that. The bees were violently evicted from their hives much the same as the residents from their homes. That's a crazy comic book thing to do in protest, but the truth is, eviction causes anger. And sometimes the truth stings. Sorry. Someone already beat me to the buzz pun.

So, wait, she wasn't even the one being evicted? She could have killed someone that was allergic to bees as a way to show support of a deadbeat that has been illegally living in a mansion for 4 years?

Sounds like a sting operation.

You're firearms are useless against them!!!

What’s the context on eviction story? It’s expensive house, why other people care about this eviction so much?

This market, a million dollar house may be a three bedroom ranch, two baths and a half finished crawl space.

It’s western MA, but even in Boston’s most expensive suburbs like Lexington $1.5M is nice house. So I don’t understand why other people care so much to protest this particular eviction?

For me, it's mostly that she used Bees to fight back. It's the best fight back against eviction I have seen yet. We don't know the rest the story. Personally, I've been through this kind of shit show back in 2010 when I lost my house to foreclosure (couldn't recover fast enough from medical bankruptcy). I know how crazy it makes people especially a soon-to-be ex-wife and from looking at myself in the mirror. So I try to have compassion because I don't know what the other person is going through.

What are you going to do, sick the dogs on me? Or the bees? Or the dogs with bees in their mouths so that when they bark they shoot bees at you?

Thank you

This is extremely hilarious; though I glad nobody was allergic🐝. Much love to everyone involved; including the antihero, a little bit💔. It’s sounds historic tbh
