What’s the big buzz around Tribeca?
On Sunday, it came from a massive swarm of bees, which shocked onlookers and forced one of the NYPD’s official beekeepers into action, authorities said.
The colony of bees laid siege to a lone bicycle on the southwest corner of Greenwich and Watts streets shortly after 5 p.m., cops said.
Police officer Michael Lauriano – one of two official NYPD beekeeping cops – responded shortly after 7 p.m. to safely contain the swarm without harming the insects.
The situation was brought under control an hour and a half later.
No injuries were reported in connection to the brood of bees.
