LAS CRUCES, N.M. - Shocking video and photos posted on social media captured the moment an off-duty firefighter helped remove a colony of bees swarming a parked car in a supermarket in New Mexico.
The Las Cruces Fire Department (LCFD) posted photos of firefighter Jesse Johnson, who happens to be a beekeeper as a personal hobby, removing a giant swarm of bees bunched up together on a shopper's car.
LCFD says their department doesn’t typically remove bees.After blocking off the area to keep people safe, the department says Johnson arrived with his bee-keeping equipment including a hive kit, lemongrass oil, gloves and proper attire to save the day.
