It seems the crew of the MV Logos Hope, which sails the world on behalf of the Good Books For All charity, found themselves with some unwanted visitors – a swarm of bees that settled on one of the ship’s lifeboats while she was docked in Kochi, India. Clearly, they had to be prevented from establishing a new hive there, so two intrepid crew members suited up in firefighting gear (which, I’m sure, was heavy enough to offer protection from stings) and deployed a hose.
Watch the results in full-screen mode for best results.
The use of hoses to repel boarders is, of course, not a novel tactic . . . it’s just that the boarders were a little different this time!

Too bad they could not call on a local beekeeper – a swarm that size would be money in the bank once they were relocated to a proper hive.
I'm so glad that bees, wasps and hornets are so small, imagine life on a planet where they are the size of a German Shepard . . .
Yes, why not just call a local beekeeper?
If they were a wild breed of bee I don't think they could be put in hives. Or…perhaps there's no equivalent of beekeepers in India? Or…they may have needed to sail immediately and didn't have time to wait for a beekeeper?
