Now I can add bee swarms to the list of things that can delay a flight.


Bizarre story!

Bee swarms are a different animal than what Hollywood presents. All the
bees are interested in the Queen, and the Queen only. If the wingtip was
removable, you could have walked up to the plane, taken the tip off, and
walked over somewhere else and given it a sharp rap against something, and
the queen would have fallen off, and everyone would have followed her. No
protective equipment, no stings, or anything.
