The swarm was apparently trying to hitch a ride on the Delta Airlines flight out of Houston’s George Bush Intercontinental on Wednesday.
For passengers hoping to board a flight from Houston to Atlanta on Wednesday, it was a different type of delay: bees on a wing.
Twitter user Anjali Enjeti shared a photo of a group of bees that had congregated on a wingtip. She noted crews wouldn’t let passengers board until the swarm was removed.
