Dead honey bees  lie in tire track on George Street- photo 250 news

Prince George, B.C. – If you have to be in the area of the Ramada Hotel on George street in Prince George this hour, "Bee" advised,  "There are  thousands of bees  in front of the Ramada Hotel" says Corporal Craig Douglass, media  liaison officer  for the  Prince George RCMP.

"We are advising people to  be very careful and to stay in their cars."

He says no one  knows why the bees are there, or what the attractant might "bee".

Bee keeper George Bomford  says the  bees  likely left the hive because of an overcrowding condition. "They would have been in a swarm,  sending out scouts  to look for a new place to make their hive."  Bomford says  the bees swarmed in an elm tree on George Street,  some pooled on the road way.  Then, as vehicles drove over the pool, the rest of the  bees became confused. "They really don't know what to do now" says Bomford,  who arrived on scene with a  hive frame a frame the bees were buzzing around, some choosing to land.  "This is the only thing that is familiar  or comfortable for them right now" says Bomford as he watched  the bees buzz around the frame.

All kidding aside, this could be a very serious issue for anyone who has an allergy to bee stings.

No word on when the area will be cleared.
