Today's Weather Trivia:
2006: In Sydney Mines, NS, bees were so thick they could be scooped up with
a shovel. Driving was treacherous as wipers couldn't remove them from
windshields. Students in 2 local schools were cautioned to keep away from
the swarm. Bees usually swarm during warm, sunny weather, but heavy rain, a
remnant of tropical storm Alberto, caused this swarming. No one reported
being stung.
