Video: Woman finds bike bag full of bees after shopping stop

A woman in Bloemendaal made a surprising discovery after coming out of the supermarket on Monday - thousands of bees had nested in her bike bag in the time she was shopping. A beekeeper had to be called in to remove the the insects. He housed the bees in a special cabinet. Beekeeper Pim Lemmers told NOS that the bees never posed any danger to bystanders. According to him, the bees stomachs were full of honey, so they wouldn't sting. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8E7n9Ks4_yo
