Police reported no injuries in the 'sting' operation.
Elinor AspegrenNew York Police Department's beekeeping unit removed 25,000 bees that took up residence on an awning in a Staten Island Ferry subway terminal, officials tweeted Sunday.
“I actually got stung,” Officer Darren Mays told The New York Times. “It happens. There’s a lot of people amazed. There’s a lot of people who are like, ‘I could never do something like that,’ and commended me for being brave.” “We’ve always had an officer who shares their knowledge of beekeeping with the department,” Officer Michael Lauriano told the news outlet. “Now that beekeeping has been becoming more of a new thing for New York City – people are having rooftop bees, balcony bees, bees in the parks – we’re faced with the challenges of: what if they swarm off?”Cornell University Senior Honey Bee Extension Associate Emma Mullen said in May that swarming is the natural phenomenon of honey bee colony reproduction.
