Moments after Simone Biles was awarded her gold medal for the 2014 World All-Around Title, a bee from her bouquet of flowers attacked her, making for a memorable and hilarous end to the competition.

Silver medalist Larisa Iordache first pointed out the bee to Biles. Once Biles spotted it, her bubbly personality shined through as she tried to avoid the bee and threw her flowers down in the process. The bee even flew to bronze medalist Kyla Ross' flower bouquet at one point.

Biles laughed it off and later tweeted this about it.



The bee had social media buzzing soon after this priceless moment and even sparked the creation of @NanningBee, the official twitter handle of the pesky insect. 

The Nanning Bee Tweeted "Nice to meet you today @Simone_Biles ! You win this round, but I'll be back!
>:( *buzzes away*"

Looks like the bee is just like everyone else and merely wanted to meet the incredible World Champion!
