10,000 bees crowd wing of plane at Mass. airport
2 hrs 25 mins ago
DANVERS, Mass. – Maybe these bees were too tired to fly for themselves. A gang of honeybees landed on the wing of a plane used for flight school training at Beverly Airport. At first, the 10,000 or so bees swarmed over the left side of the aircraft, then landed on top of the left wing. The owner of the flight center called police, who said to call local bee removal expert Al Wilkins.
Wilkins used a specially designed vacuum to suck the bees off the plane, and then relocated them to hives where they will produce honey.
Wilkins guessed that the queen may have stopped to rest on the plane, and the other bees congregated around to protect her.
Of course he did.

With all the news about honeybees dying off I would have grabbed the Shop-Vac...
...soon after, started looking for someone wanting to buy some bees.
When life gives you bees, make honey-money!

If I was that tired I would have hitched a ride on a Super-Bee. Some of them could really fly.

And they should have said they too beezy to respond, plus it is not really their beesness, call the bee keeper, not the Police! Originally Posted by Shoestring
