The bees caused a buzz of excitement on Manhattan's Upper East Side, before being corralled by the police department's beekeeper. The bees had built a giant hive in a tree, and when the queen bee went sightseeing, the entire swarm followed. The New York Post quotes one man as saying there was a "a 3 foot column of bees." The bees were supposed to be taken to a farm in Connecticut to pollinate.
