Unprecedented Robber Bee Invasion at British Columbia Apiary Shop

Lightly browned and well buttered. A solid pick from the rack.
Summary
A beekeeper in Terrace, British Columbia experienced an unusual invasion of thousands of 'robber bees' in her shop in late August. Robber bees typically target other beehives when resources dwindle in late summer and early fall, but this incident involved them swarming a commercial establishment instead of their usual hive targets. The owner of Rushing River Apiaries was shocked by the scale of the invasion, which represents atypical behavior for these pollinators.
