When Bees Attack!

Filed Under Airport Operations

Bees Belt LoaderThings almost went sour when a U.S. Airways baggage handler drove a belt loader up to an aircraft to unload the bags from an arriving flight. The employee hopped into the belly of the plane and within seconds a swarm of bees flew directly onto the belt loader. The worker noticed the bees just before stepping out and called for help.  An Operations Supervisor notified the Fire department to “hose” the bees off. No one was injured, except for a few honey bees, but if this does not teach you to watch your step then I’m not sure what will!
