NORTH SUMATRA, INDONESIA — A Citilink Indonesia plane reportedly landed at around 11:40 a.m. and was heading toward its parking spot when passengers noticed their vessel was surrounded by a swarm of bees. The bee swarm formed a thick black cloud and clung to the plane's wing as they created a nest. According to Citilink's vice president, the bees were later removed from the aircraft when water was sprayed onto the wing with a fire hose. The removal process only caused a 90-minute delay. The vice president theorized that what logging practices that have disrupted the bees natural habitat may have forced them to look for a new home.
