WOW, how unusual is that. Oh, my god,I've heard of cats, snakes, and even squirrals but never bees a first for everything, good thing they didn't get on the inside of his car or he could have been seriously injured. Good ending to a bizarre story./

That's some crazy stuff. It's good he didn't get stung though and that he got his car back!

It was global warming

this stuff actually happens pretty often in the springtime. usually the bees will swarm into a tree or a bush though.

Mwharharhar!
Global Warming! Haha! Great! Just like the flurries they are calling for on Monday the 14th of April! I couldn't help noticing the skillful beekeeper in that photo in the slide show. What a way to improvise! A cardboard box? |

You have to admit he may not know how to keep bees away from his car but he does know a good car. He drives a Toyota but works for Honda. That says a lot!!

It was not a HIVE. It was a SWARM. I use to keep bees. They are just protecting the queen as she searches for a suitable place to make a hive....and a metallic car is not the place. She would move on eventually.
Global warming? Biblical? LMAOROFL!!! |

Right on Badger. Not global warming, not Biblical.
Swarms happen; I've personally seen 2. They are not that uncommon. Do some research on the web. |

That queen had class, an Avalon no less. Nothing cheap for her. Way to go, Girl!!!

We kept Bees when I was a child and this is how we got them. We had over 50 hives, all of them collected from swarms in peoples yards, cars, attics etc... Nothing out of the ordinary, except WBIR called it news lol.

Am so happy to hear there are still honey bees, even if they did find an odd place to take up. Is great news, just the same.
|
Excellent point. The mites/fungus had been ravaging them for years, but I am seeing them more often. I do believe they have adapted to the infestation and are making a comeback. Did you know Honey bees are not native to the Americas but were introduced by European settlers? The first introductions are believed to have occurred in the early to mid 1600s by English and Spanish settlers. |
