10,000 bees swarm car after queen reportedly trapped in trunk - CNET

Well, we had a good run, humans. Had some wars and pandemics, sure, but did ourselves proud with that whole Renaissance thing. And that Chewbacca lady, she was pretty fuy. But now we have to sign out for good and give up this entire planet. There is no way to go on living here now that we know 10,000 bees can swarm a car, as happened in Wales this week.

"The insects are believed to have swarmed on to the back of a silver Mitsubishi Outlander after their queen got stuck in its boot," the Guardian reports. "Boot" being "car trunk" to Americans, not to be confused with "boot" as in "throw up," which is what I would have done had even a fraction of these little buzzers attached themselves to my car.

The Pembrokeshire Beekeepers' Association was called, and two hardy saviors, made of true British mettle, eventually managed to shove the swarm into what I am hoping was the world's sturdiest cardboard box.
