That was how he was described, although I have a snealy suspiscion that he is a bee expert that the NYPD calls upon, not a NYPD officer with a very, very specific role.Sparrow Tag said:
Colony collapse disorder, though there are still a few bees around where I'm at...just not as many.sneakysnake128 said:
Anyway, Buck Bumble got pissed, and man, did he bring reinforcements.
Well if he is, thats probably the first job he has ever had, before now he just sat at his desk, thinking to himself "One day, my time will come!".nilcypher said:
Maybe the bees were angry about being suckered into a subscription for Game Informer. Or maybe they pre-ordered a game and the GS employees sold their copy anyway.

I once ran over a wasp's nest while mowing the lawn, and my mower doesn't have a side panel where the grass flies down, so instead, it flies up into the air.
About 20-30 wasps flew up into the air and swooped down on me, and for a bit I didn't even realize what was happening (just felt a couple sharp pains in my back and arm) until I looked down to see myself covered in them.
Yeah, thank god my dad was outside with me, but fffffffffffff...
I've had an irrational fear of flying insects since, but if WASPS hurt, I could only imagine if they were bees.
Damn. I just shuddered.

Anyway, sucks for the Gamestop employees, but I'm glad everyone turned out to be okay.
This is exactly why we have a paid bee expert in the NYPD.
Being someone who has friends who are allergic to bees, I find it a serious matter, even though I am affected by a beesting as someone punching me in the face...it hurts but it goes away. But frankly that Gamestop owner better have good evidence that he had no idea there were bees nesting (hiving?) in his store walls, or someone might find a good lawyer and then it won't be so original or amusing. I can understand a small hive being missed, but one big enough to create a large enough swarm to obstruct entrance to a business? That would be enough noise to make someone wonder if the electricity was going haywire, warranting a looksee. I can hear bees around a hive from over a block away on a quiet day outdoors, and that's with one bad ear. I'm fairly certain that Gamestop, even being in Manhattan, has its quiet days.
I see even Root's resisted the urge to unleash a swarm of puns, but bee that as it may someone's gonna have to feel the sting of pun after pun. This is a real honey of a story, and the forum's been waxing philosophical about the sweet nectar of karmic revenge. It's created a real buzz as the GameStop workers drone on. I hope they don't break out in hives.
