20,000 bees make 3 flights not take off
Bee herds estimated that about 20,000 children decided to stop at the engine of a commercial plane on the runway.
According to the Daily Mail, airport agents in South Africa must be very hard to chase away the bees. Their appearance has caused three flights to be postponed.
Herds stop at a commercial plane of Mango Airline. The incident happened at King Shaka International Airport, South Africa.
Airport staff named Melvyn Dawson said 20,000 bees rested in the airplane engine for 25 minutes. The incident was discovered by an airplane pilot, before the flight took off.
Bee colonies attach to commercial aircraft engines.
Employees must use their hands to scare off bees because insecticides can affect engines. According to Mango Airline, this is the first time its aircraft has been interrupted by bees.
'Two employees were called to scare away the bees. Unfortunately, there are still three flights that are delayed , "Mango Airline said.
Mike Miles, an African bee expert, said it was unusual for bees to nest in aircraft engines. Miles believes that bees want to stay there before flying to suitable nesting places.
