There were no
bees on the plane in the Wednesday incident, which was spotted
by a service crew who saw the bees buzzing under the wing.
The airline called in a local beekeeper to handle the bees so
the plane from Las Vegas could turn around as a flight to
Frankfort, Germany.
"Unfortunately, not long after the beekeeper left, another swarm
decided to visit the same aircraft," American Airlines
spokeswoman Andrea Huguely said.
The beekeeper was called again to remove the second swarm of
bees. No one was stung.
"This was not our first encounter with bees," Huguely said.
