MYSTERIOUS: Bees delay flight for three hours - You Need To See This

And other stories from the stranger side of life

A flight from Houston to Atlanta was delayed for three hours because thousands of bees swarmed on the wing of the airplane. “My flight leaving Houston is delayed because bees have congregated on the tip of one of the wings,” tweeted a passenger. Speaking to CBS News, an airline spokesperson said: “Bee-lieve it or not, Delta flight 1682 from Houston-Bush to Atlanta took a delay this afternoon after a friendly group of bees evidently wanted to talk shop with the winglet of our airplanes, no doubt to share the latest about flying conditions at the airport.”
