Rorie Woods stepped out from behind the wheel and walked to the rear of the trailer, which carried a half-dozen wooden boxes. With a pair of reading glasses draped around the collar of her purple fleece, she began to shake the boxes, because with the temperature in the low 50s, it was too cold for the honeybees inside to fly without a little coaxing. A deputy, realizing what she was about to unleash, tried to stop her, but a bee stung him in the face, forcing him to retreat. The maneuver bought Woods enough time to pull on a beekeeper suit with a vented hood that covered her face and roll one of the hives off the trailer and up to the entryway of King’s house. Three more officers marched forward to stop her, but they too were stung by the cloud of bees and fell back. Nearly 30 minutes later, one officer managed to handcuff her as the protesters cheered. “We’re with you, Rorie!” one yelled. She called back to another, telling her to take care of Zekie, her Chihuahua-basenji mix that had been sitting in her vehicle as the chaos unfolded. As the officer led Woods to a cruiser, he told her that he and several officers were allergic to bees. “Oh you’re allergic, good,” she allegedly replied.

After Woods, 55, was charged with four counts of “assault and battery by means of a dangerous weapon (bees),” three counts of assault by means of a dangerous weapon (also bees), and disorderly conduct, she was heralded as a folk hero. “This is not about a few sheriffs getting a few honeybee stings,” she said in an interview. “It’s about predatory lending, which is thriving in Massachusetts and beyond.”
