What’s All the Buzz About?

Posted on by Kolbe

We’ve all been there, stuck on the tarmac waiting to take off when the captain’s voice rings out over the speaker system alerting passengers to the delay they are about to experience. It can be troubling. For one Miami to New York flight, it was bees that were troubling.  Passengers crowded around a window on the plane to get a look at the seemingly hundreds of bees that were crawling all over the wing of the plane. They appeared to have made a home in the cargo area and were moving all about the outside of the plane. A local beekeeper needed to be called in to safely remove the bees before the plane could take off. Although the passengers were given snacks and refreshments during the wait, it doesn’t lessen the sting of a four-hour delay.
