"BEE" ware!

We took our students to the Reds game yesterday. I will spare you the stressful details of taking a large group of 9-12 year olds to downtown Cincinnati and allowing them the freedom to roam Great American Ballpark. I'm making this post to share an unusual event... The start of the game was delayed due to BEES!, You read that correctly. A swarm of 75,000 honeybees invaded the ballpark shortly before the first pitch. The game was subsequently delayed 18 minutes. A strange twist of events solved the problem... as luck would have it, two beekeepers happened to be sitting in the owner's luxury box. What a strange day!

The first photo is not a beekeeper. That's Reds Player Derek Dietrich clowning around with the bees.
