Yesterday’s game between the Corpus Christi Hooks and Northwest Arkansas Naturals was delayed for an hour and a half because of what you see above—a swarm of bees bigger than a basketball that gathered in the home dugout.
Bee delays are nothing new at baseball games, but I don’t think I’ve ever seen such an enormous clump of them.
The game had to be delayed until the team could find a beekeeper to come and deal with the horde of venomous insects. One apparent bee expert on Twitter told Astros executive Kevin Goldstein that would never happen.
