Swarm of bees delays Royals-Angels game
Swarm of bees delays MLB spring training game
The Royals and the Angels were just trying to play baseball. They didn’t want to have to fight off a swarm of bees; there’s nothing in the MLB rulebook that says they have to, and it’s not a traditional part of the way most people play baseball.
But the bees showed up to their spring training game anyway, causing a delay as they terrified fans and players alike.
Royals manager Ned Yost levied some strong accusations when it came to the handling of the bee situation at the game.
#Royals MGR Ned Yost not happy with the way the bees were confiscated today. "It was mass bee genocide," he said.

I think this may be the first intersection of the words “mass bee genocide” in human history.
Write this down, historians. And if you had “mass bee genocide” in your game of “things Ned Yost will say” bingo, you’re 1) an uncommonly strange person, and 2) very, very rich now.
Yost is apparently a defender of the terrifying, buzzing yellow-and-black creatures who delayed today’s game, despite the fact that if Hitchcock had made The Bees it would have been twenty times scarier than The Birds. I think I can speak for all of us when I say that bees are the worst thing on the entire planet. (Note: the author may be heavily biased against bees due to a deathly allergy. Pay no mind to any of these accusations against our insect friends).
But still, MLB should take any accusations of “genocide” seriously, even if it applies to bees. Ned Yost, for one, will not rest until justice is served.
