Off-duty firefighter rescues man from huge swarm of bees in car

This firefighter is the bee’s knees.

A New Mexico resident’s trip to the grocery store turned into the stuff of nightmares when a swarm of 15,000 bees took over the back seat of his car. Luckily, an off-duty firefighter who practices beekeeping came to the rescue. On Sunday, March 28, a Las Cruces shopper left their car windows down while heading into a grocery store. When they returned and began to drive away, they realized thousands of bees had invaded their vehicle, according to a Facebook post from the Las Cruces Fire Department.
