Bees ground plane.

[Vanhelsing]

Perhaps the bees were attracted to the wingtip color, or they were just tired. I think dogs prohibiting take-off from Ngurah Rai is the only time I recall being delayed by animals.

But recent passengers on a Citilink Indonesia flight were stung by a rather unusual occurrence, earlier this week - after one of the plane's wings was covered in bees.

The commuter flight, which was loaded with passengers, was about to depart from Indonesia's Kualanamu International Airport, which serves the North Sumatra province, when thousands of the insects descended.

Gosh, that’s a lot of bees

When I saw your thread title I was thinking of maybe, I dunno, 50 bees or so from a hive that had somehow ended up in the cabin of the plane. I was NOT prepared for that photo. Anglian is right, that's a lot of bees.

Apparently not uncommon...

Don’t know how a bee keeper would collect that swarm, hope they don’t have to kill them, the world is short of bees
