AURILLAC, France -- A unusual attack by bees in the French town of Aurillac has left 24 people injured, including three who were in critical condition but have since improved, according to local authorities.

After a deadly bee attack in Scottsdale, a master beekeeper goes over what to do and not do if a swarm of bees starts stinging you. There are several things you can do to avoid an attack, like wearing light-colored clothing and not flailing or screaming.

Three people in a French town remain in a "critical but stable condition" following an unusual bee attack at the weekend which left 24 passersby injured, the mayor of Aurillac said on Monday. Twenty-four people were hurt and three were rushed to hospital in critical condition when hundreds of bees suddenly attacked people in the central-southern town on Sunday morning.
