Indian Wells: Jannik Sinner extends winning run as bee swarm halts Carlos Alcaraz match - BBC Sport

The Alcaraz-Zverev QF at Indian Wells has to be stopped just 2 games in, as bees take a fancy to the court.

Any other sporting events stopped by bees in recent years?

It's happened in cricket, more than once. There's a famous photo of everyone lying down.

Golf as well?

Plus the very occasional football game too...

Though, not as yet Barnet v. Brentford...

The Bees (of Wash in the Rain/Chicken Payback fame) supported Oasis on their 2005 tour, which took in dates at both Hampden Park and, of course, the City of Manchester Stadium (as was).

Can't imagine much football was played while they were on.
