I hope the deputy had brought his lunch with him. Might have been a long day.

Talk about a sting operation.
hahaha.
And why couldn't the officer, sorry...deputy drive away? And all that noise on the right side of the photo...more bees? Or what, pollen?
We had a swarm show up in our back yard a couple of years ago. It was very cool to watch (through the screen door with a long lens on the camera) as they descended on a limb of our dogwood tree. When they settled, the 2" limb was about a foot in diameter. We got a local bee keeper to collect them. It turns out that when a hive gets too crowded, they make a second queen and she leaves with about half of the bees to find another home. When they get far enough the queen lands someplace and the rest of the swarm joins her. They send out scouts to look for a new home and leave in a day or so if left alone. I suspect that is what landed on the car. I'm glad our swarm picked the dogwood rather than our car. :)
That is one of the wackiest things I've ever seen. Truth really is stranger than fiction. Too funny !!!
I'm thinking, maybe ... they figured there were doughnuts inside, extras in the trunk?
