Bees kill 63 endangered penguins in South Africa

Postmortems showed the African penguins had multiple stings around their eyes

A swarm of bees has killed 63 endangered African penguins on a beach outside Cape Town, the Southern African Foundation for the Conservation of Coastal Birds said.

The protected birds were found dead in Simon's Town, a small town near Cape Town home to a colony of penguins, and taken for post-mortems.
