Thousands of bees have miraculously survived after being buried under volcanic ash for 50 days at the edge of a volcano in La Palma.
Since Cumbre Vieja Volcano first began erupting on September 19, the hives, located only 600 metres away from the volcano, were buried under a layer of ash.
But despite the conditions, the hives managed to stay alive for 50 days.
The bee hives were covered in ashes from Cumbre Vieja Volcano in La Palma, Canary Islands, Spain
