Bee terrorises NTU student on his first day in hall, prompting him to call friends for backup
A Nanyang Technological University (NTU) student received quite the warm welcome to hall life on Tuesday (4 Aug) when a bee flew into his dorm room.
In a TikTok video, 22-year-old Rayyan documented the ordeal as he tried to avoid the wrath of his uninvited guest.
@rayyanroulette where is my roommate when i NEEDED HIM THE MOST?!?! Thankful for my sisters for saving me from the Bee in hall ❤️
Bee appears on his first day of hall life
Speaking to MS News, Rayyan said he had left the window open for ventilation before heading out for orientation.
However, when he returned, he kept hearing a buzzing sound.
“I didn’t know what it was until I saw it coming from the window!” he said.
In the video, Rayyan filmed himself trying to make sense of the situation.
The bee appeared to be trapped between the wire mesh and the glass panel of the window.

Rayyan explained that he wanted to switch on the air-conditioning, but could only do so once the windows were fully closed.
“Can you get out, please? The window is there,” he pleaded while pointing towards the opening, which was likely where the bee had entered.

When begging failed, Rayyan tried hitting the window with his roommate’s pillow.
Unfortunately, that did little to scare the bee away.
Calls friends for backup as chaos continues
With his roommate nowhere to be found, Rayyan called his other friends in for backup.
His friends soon entered the “battlefield” and attempted to figure out how to deal with the trapped bee.
“Do you have the spraying thing?” one of them asked.

“No, I don’t have! I’m not prepared for this!” Rayyan exclaimed.
One friend suggested opening the window mesh, but Rayyan was worried that the bee would fly further into the room.
“If it flies inside, I will die. I will die,” he replied.

“I’m seeing stars, bro. I cannot do this,” Rayyan said after returning to his room. “Where is this Mat when I need him?”
The bee was eventually released through the open window.
