honey bees on 14th street

I was walking up 14th Street from Valencia to Guerrero today, when I noticed a crowd of people, then police cars, then a person in a weird white suit... and finally, the reason for all the commotion - THOUSANDS OF HONEY BEES!

Apparently, that fellow in the blue shirt came out to his car and there was a massive cloud of bees swarming around it. The police were called, then a bee keeper. The keeper brought a queen and a box and began to corral the bees which she planned to take back to her honey-making hive.

She explained to the growing crowd that the bees had probably broken away from an overcrowded hive, were looking for a new home, and decided this guy's car looked good.
