pedestrians, tourists and traffic. A police officer who keeps bees himself, arrived at the scene in Times Square, known as “The Crossroads of the World,” at 2:30 p.m.

(EST), wearing a mesh-hooded beekeeper suit. He deployed a vacuum cleaner-like device to collect the bees unharmed, said New York Police Detective Sophia Mason. The scene drew crowds of tourists taking photographs. “It took about 45 minutes to suck them up,” Mason said. “They are at an undisclosed location. They will rehive them.” No one was injured in the incident, Mason said. “The bees just wanted some hot dogs,” she added. — Reuters
