Tens of thousands of bees swarmed a hot dog stand outside the Hard Rock Cafe in New York’s Times Square on Tuesday, August 28.
“The bees are out for lunch,” wrote Twitter user @ajm510 on her video showing the bees covering the stand’s umbrella and buzzing around overhead.
News reports said the NYPD cordoned off the area, and the NYPD’s two resident beekeepers eventually removed the swarm. Gothamist reported that NYPD beekeeper Darren Mays estimated that there were 20,000 to 30,000 bees. Credit: @ajm510 via Storyful
