CBS News Forget snakes on a plane: Pittsburgh International Airport is dealing with the real-life problem of bees on a plane.A Delta flight headed to New Yo stanley cup rk on Wednesday night was delayed because a swarm of bees decided to hitch a ride on one of the plane s wings before takeoff. They were getting ready to fuel and they came around the corner of the plane and right there on the wing is a cluster of honeybees, Master beekeeper Stephen Repasky of Meadow Sweet Apiaries said to CBS Pittsburgh station KDKA-TV. It was a shocker to a lot of people. This was the fourth swarm at the airport, according to Repasky. Last May, 25,000 to 30,000 bees landed on the Taxiway-C light.The honeybees stanley cup are a protected species, which means that they can t be killed and must be moved to another location. Repasky took the bees home in a box and will release them at a later date. When bee colonies get too big, the queen takes off with half of the bees to find a new home. Repasky said that means it could be a 40-foot tree or the wing of a jet liner. Because it happens so often at the airport, Repasky believes there is a honeybee colony somewhere on the premises. Specifically, the airport authority have gone through great lengths to make sure that stanley cup canada honeybees receive special attention, he said. ponent--type-recirculation .item:nth-child 5 display: none; inline-recirc-item--id-9655247e-8c88-11e2-b06b-024 Deks Bankrupt Harrisburg, Pa. cancels Christmas
