Once there was a bear roaming freely around the woods in search of berries. After a while, he found a fallen tree in which a swarm of bees had stored their honey. The bear started searching around the log very carefully to find out if the bees were in their nest. At that moment, one of the bees came to the tree from a field with a load of sweets. The bee saw the bear and flew at him, stung him sharply and then disappeared into the log. The bear lost his temper and instantly sprang upon the log, with his tooth and claw, to destroy the nest. But this brought out the whole swarm. The poor bear was unable to bear it, and was able to save himself only by diving into a pool of water.

Bear saved himself from the ____.
