Deputies sent to enforce an eviction in Massachusetts said they were attacked by a woman and her army of loyal bees.

The deputies were enforcing the eviction in Longmeadow when a blue SUV pulled up. What they didn't know was the woman was towing bee hives behind her SUV.

"A Sheriff’s deputy tried to stop her, but as the agitated bees started getting out and circling the area, he pulled back," the sheriff wrote in a statement to WCVB. "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."
