Yesterday wasn't just unusual because the sun actually came out—on the Upper East Side, residents saw 8,000-10,000 bees emerge (video) from a hive on Lexington between 80th and 81st Streets! The Post claims that the bees "had surreptitiously moved into the neighborhood sometime in the past month and managed to build a giant hive in a tree... without anyone noticing." Gasp—Upper East Siders, your nosy neighbor quotient is slipping! Anyway, the swarm got moving because the queen bee went out for a flight around 4 p.m., and naturally her loyal "subjects" followed her. An onlooker said, "It was a three foot column of bees." Enter the NYPD's resident beekeeper (who knew?) Police Officer Anthony Planakis who declared it "one of the biggest swarms I've ever seen" and promised to take them "to a farm in Connecticut to pollinate." Last month, a swarm of bees were the main attraction in Union Square.

It's the same media that NEVER mentioned Muslims' hatred of Israel as a possible motive for 9/11.

Alert the press, the White House, Häagen-Dazs! The lost swarms are emerging!
Yikes! I used to live on 81st, and I think that would have scared me into moving. Yet, considering all the stories we hear about mysterious bee die-offs, I find it strangely comforting to know they're finding new homes, even if it's right in the middle of the UES. Glad the fuzz found a way to round them up gently. (Unless CT is just a euphemism? I always thought it was.)
The neighborhood was abuzz.
Bees vs. wasps.
The battle finally begins...
"Police Officer Anthony Planakis who declared it "one of the biggest swarms I've ever seen" and promised to take them "to a farm in Connecticut to pollinate."
Is that the same farm they take the kittens to?
