Ever imagine a baseball game delayed, not by rain, but by a swarm of bees? Believe it, because on Tuesday, April 30, 2024, at a Major League Baseball game between the Los Angeles Dodgers and the Arizona Diamondbacks in Phoenix, that's precisely what happened, turning an ordinary Tuesday into an extraordinary spectacle.
The unexpected delay was caused by a colony of bees that decided to make their home atop the backstop netting, right behind home plate. This presented a unique challenge, requiring more than just your average groundskeeper. Enter Matt Hilton, a local beekeeper residing in Surprise, Arizona, about 45 minutes from downtown Phoenix. Hilton, now affectionately known as the "bee guy," quickly grabbed his beekeeping gear and raced to the rescue.
