Massive swarm of bees takes over NYC subway entrance, putting sting in rush hour commute: video


Hey, this isn’t Bee-line!

Commuters battled more than their fellow straphangers to get on a subway train during the rush hour buzz Wednesday when a swarm of bees took over the Flushing-Main Street station entrance.

Hundreds of droning insects covered the railing in such thick patches that the green paint was invisible beneath their black and yellow fuzz, wild video taken by New York City Photos shows.

The bees also circled overhead, forcing straphangers to brave the swarm to enter the Downtown Flushing station — and the more timid commuters to find another way of getting on the 7 train.

The hive was first spotted around 5:30 p.m., videographer Lukasz Bielawski told Storyful, but had significantly decreased in size by Thursday morning.

“That entrance to the station has been cordoned off and station agents are directing riders to alternative entrances.

There is no impact to service as a result,” an MTA spokesperson told The Post.

Whether the NYPD beekeepers played a part in the insect removal is not yet clear.
