A friend just sent me this photo from a race earlier this year. I had left my bike chained to the fence while I was course marshalling. When I got back, I found about...oh 30,000 bees sitting on it. It seems a hive was relocating and the queen bee took a break on my bike. And as the queen bee does, so does everyone else.Some park rangers tried a smoke out attempt, but to no avail. We ended up calling two local bee keepers out there who literally swept the hive into a box with a car snow scraper. After a days work, a beer and chat, they drove the buzzers off to their new location.
Crazy stuff.
