I was riding my motorcycle to work last summer and stopped at an
intersection. I look over and see a ton of bees in the back of this

guy's
station wagon. I'm thinking maybe he just got this thing out of a garage
and didn't know they were there and would soon find himself careening

across
the road swatting at a swarm of bees in his car. I hurriedly make my way
along side the driver's window and frantically start pointing to the back

of
his car. He smiled knowingly and waved it off. It was then that I

noticed
they were all over him and his wife. I still don't know what to say

about
that one..

The only thing I can think of is that maybe they captured a wild swarm
and had the queen in there and she was happy enough? Give them enough
sugar water and they're supposed to be calm. Nothing _I'd_ want to
do. Very strange even in that case. In any other case, worthy of
selling to the Enquirer (is that still in business?).



Dunno, but it sure was bizarre. It was a perfect time for a picture ... if
I only had a camera at the ready...
