Thousands of bees congregated on a Delta plane's wing, delaying the flight by three hours.
in a statement,"Bee-lieve it or not, Delta flight 1682 on May 3 from Houston-Bush to Atlanta took a delay after a friendly group of bees evidently wanted to talk shop with the winglet of one of our airplanes, no doubt to share the latest about flying conditions at the airport."
Planes have experienced this phenomenon before. In 2021, a swarm of cicadas delayed a flight when White House staffers were heading to Europe. The cicadas filled the plane's engines and the staffers had to use a different plane for their trip, according to NPR.
