Giants And Diamondbacks Wait Out 41-Minute Bee Delay

A cloud of bees settled near the Giants dugout at the D-Backs training facility in Scottsdale, halting play until the grounds crew came up with a brilliant plan. They bought a bunch of lemonade and cotton candy from the food stands, smeared it on two golf carts, and used that to lure the bees away. I shit you not. Dumb bees: outsmarted by Man yet again. [AP]
