An American Airlines plane preparing to depart from a North Carolina airport was delayed for about an hour due to a swam of bees.
Micah McCollough, a passenger aboard the plane at Charlotte Douglas International Airport, captured video as beekeepers and airline employees worked to remove the bees from the plane’s turbine.
The video shows the bee rescuers placing the insects into a box for safe transport.
The bees were removed and the plane departed for San Francisco about an hour behind schedule.
