A colony of bees delayed the start of Dodgers-Diamondbacks, and MLB fans swarmed with jokes

The reason for the Arizona Diamondbacks’ home game against the Los Angeles Dodgers bee-ing delayed on Tuesday night had people … buzzing.

In a move that has to sting all the fans who got to the game on time, the Diamondbacks shared on Twitter (X) that a large colony of bees had gathered on the protective netting behind home plate, which delayed the game’s start time.

It’s always smart to bee careful, as batters, catchers, umpires and fans might find themselves in a sticky situation if the hive decides to attack. It’s always better to bee safe than sorry when Mother Nature gets involved. That’s what the hive mind suggests, anyway.

After all, it’s not so sweet to get stung by a bee at a baseball game. We really with these bees would just … beehive … already.

However, fans still made honey out of this colony of bees by swarming social media to make some very funny jokes.

They’re un-bee-lievably good.
