LIGONIER, Indiana (AP) -- A swarm of honeybees temporarily disrupted a charity fundraising event, but no one reported being stung.

Authorities evacuated the area Saturday after the swarm of about 3,000 bees emerged from the woods around the West Noble High School football field, where 700 people were participating in a fundraising walk for the American Cancer Society.

Well thats good. 80% Of the bee population is missing, so now we at least know where 3,000 of them are!:yay

That's the third "swarming" I've read about this month! The bees aren't missing, they're in hiding, preparing to ATTACK!

Strange for them to be doing that.

Just last year as I was doing maintenance on my house, I came walking out of my garage and almost walked into a swarm of bees that were traveling across my yard. It was about 10' x 10' in diameter. Scared me enough to run back in the garage and close the garage door and go and call my wife and tell her about it. It was pretty strange. I don't know where they came from or where they went. I have about 4 acres of cleared land so where they came from, I don't know.

I wounder what this means about cancer seems odd they would do that during a cancer event.

Bees swarm when their hives get too crowded and they produce a new queen that then leads part of the population to look for a new place to start a new colony. This is a normal part of how honeybees operate. We just don't often witness it firsthand.
