A car owner got a huge surprise when he discovered that around 20,000 bees had gathered on his vehicle. The unusual incident took place in Jackson, Tennessee, United States, and was captured on video, quickly drawing attention.

Why did thousands of bees cover the car?

As he got closer, the person filming confirmed that the car was practically covered by the swarm. Some people suggested it might have been a Nissan 350Z, although the model was not confirmed.

According to an expert's explanation cited in the report, the phenomenon may have been linked to the presence of a queen bee trapped or stuck somewhere on the vehicle. Worker bees detect her pheromones and cluster around her, forming a compact mass that can look like a large “bee beard.”

Is it dangerous to get close to a swarm of bees?

Bees clustered together while a colony is relocating tend to be less aggressive than when they are protecting a hive. However, it is not advisable to get close, touch them, or try to remove them without professional help, especially if there are people with allergies nearby.

The queen's scent can remain for several days or even weeks. Therefore, even if the first group is removed, other bees may return and buzz around the same spot. The safest solution is to contact a beekeeper or specialist who can relocate them without putting people or the swarm at risk. 🐝
