NYPD removes 2,000 bees from New York restaurant


A restaurant in New York was buzzing over the weekend — and not just because of its human customers.

The New York Police Department’s Beekeeping Unit (NYPD beekeepers) was called to a restaurant in Times Square on Sunday, where about 2,000 bees had taken up residence near the seating area, according to a tweet from NYPD News.

“NYPD Bees has been called in to safely remove 2,000 bees from a restaurant near the Crossroads of the World,” NYPD News wrote on Twitter.

“The [bees] will now be moved to an area where their pollination [sic] skills will be put to good use,” NYPD News added.

It is not known exactly where the bees were moved.

NYPD beekeepers have been busy for the past few weeks.

They were called to a building near the World Trade Center earlier this month where 8,000 bees had swarmed.
