KENT, Ohio — The buzz on the street was that there was a fire Saturday afternoon in Kent. But, when firefighters arrived, they quickly realized that plume of "smoke" was actually a huge swarm of bees.
"This afternoon we were dispatched to the mill for reports of smoke coming from the concrete silos. Upon inspection we found it to be a large swarm of bees circling the top of the silo. This swarm was visible blocks away. We gladly returned to service, once again in awe of Mother Nature," the department said on its Facebook page.
So far, the department's post has generated more than 133 comments and they are quite amusing.
One person wrote: "Mind your own bees wax!"
Enough said.
