Hot Mess: When Bees Attack
August 27, 2010 by William Maley
One example of how to tell if you’re having a bad day on the job; a swarm of bees attack your car. Case in point: A Wake County sheriff’s deputy by the name of Brandon Jenkins was checking out a disabled pickup. The pickup was moving a trailer of honey bee hives from Mount Airy to Rocky Mount in North Carolina when it broke down before dawn. Deputy Jenkins was walking around the vehicle when the sun began to rise and the honeybees became active. Deputy Jenkins fearing he was in the middle of a real life version of “Attack of the Killer Bees” ran to his cruiser, and the bees followed him, covering the car. The sheriff’s office called North Carolina State University’s agriculture department, which removed most of the bees from the cruiser. The rest of the bees on the vehicle flew away once Deputy Jenkins drove away. It’s unknown if Deputy Jenkins is afraid of bees now or avoids honey at all costs.
