hmmm. A swarm of bees around a bush. Cnn that was too easy.

I guess they heard fhe buzz from someone at Goldman Sachs that things were sweet over at 1600 PA Ave.

I know it sounds a bit out there but, can you say sabotage... I think that it is a sort of test for the grounds security by outside forces that are up to no good. I know, but think about it, you do little things to disrupt and then "BAM!" it's over.

There are a lot of people in this country who put their personal politics over the safety and well being of America. These people will do anything to get their agenda. As proof I offer up the republicans.

First raccoons and now bees! Take care of those bees, because many swarms are threatened by some strange malady. Bees are very important in pollination and agriculture, which so many people seem not to realize. They got all steamed up when some budget money was programmed to bee programs, as if it was some unnecessary pork. It isn't!

What a blessing! Perhaps Michelle Obama's motto for the beehives should be, "If you build it, they will come."

Hopefully they will not exterminate the bees. Colony Collapse Disorder and all. I've no doubt that the Bush people would have destroyed them though. Actually European honey bees, which are the majority of honey bees we depend on, are not a threat at all. I once saw a mass of dead honey bees that had alighted on a tree for sale in the garden department of a Home Depot. Somebody there panicked and called the exterminators who were only to happy to offer their services. Later, I was there when another swarm flew in. They slowly coleased on a Wisteria plant. People were in a panicked again. I was not since we had had a swarm land in a tree near our home and they were completely unthreatening. I even put my bare hand maybe 1/2 inch from them and none reacted. When they are swarming they are on the move to a new home. They are not looking for a fight. Anyway, at Home Depot I and another person picked up the Wisteria plant, put it on a cart and wheeled it outside. The exterminator, which had again been called, was disinvited. Then I put some honey on the trunk which they devoured. Next day they were gone.

African killer bees, we can assume, that are demanding asylum and amnesty from the socialist and Great Giver of Other People's Money: O'man!!

A swarm of bees on a tree limb or in a bush are looking for a new “home” and usually are the most gentle that you will encounter “in the wild”. As long as the queen isn’t being hurt, they will just swarm around her until she decides to move. If a person does not know a beekeeper… just leave them alone.

Okay, I am no conspiracy theorist but these various unwanted guests at the WH are starting to look suspicious. I don't recall this happening in any other WH. No, this doesn't seem like one big coincidence. The new WH occupants have not even been residents 3 months!

WOW, I don't think I ever recall this happening.

Perhaps this is a message. You all decide. I know what I've decided.

I would bet a million dollars that the Queen Bee has to be one of two persons: either Rush Limbaugh or Dick Cheney. Where is my bug spray? I'm on my way Obama. I've got your back! Zap! There, that should take care of them.

It's probably just a bivouac, where the bees just find a safe place to rest and collect themselves for a few days and then move on to search for a permanent home. That the White House has a beekeeper on staff speaks volumes to government efforts to preserve our natural food source system.

Sweet!

We just need to reason with the bees, listen to them, respect them and they'll go away on their own. Maybe that's why PresBO isn't dealing with the Somalia issue- he's negotiating with bees.

It's the first plague. The end is nigh

It's a right-wing conspiracy!! The bees were planted in hopes of ridding the White House of the radically liberal, Obama!!

(kidding)

When Michelle's garden gets going , she will want those bee's around . Things in nature that sometimes seem a pest are there for a purpose .

Sara Palin has been at it again! Remember the "raccoon" she somehow let loose in the Rose Garden???? Well this time, she sent a BIG BEE Box full of Alaskan Bees along with her Ex-son-in-law when he was here this week doing interviews on CBS and with Ms. Banks. He stopped by the White House, and found a "volunteer" who dropped that bee box close to the new garden in the back yard of the White House and instructed the volunteer to "let the bees go"! Sure enough, they swarmed right into that bush over by the Northwest Security Gates! It seems Sara wants to be sure that the Alaska environment she looks after is never forgotten! First is was a "coon", now a "swarm of bees"?? Stay tuned folks for the next chapter of "As the White House Turns"!!!

OMG at around the exact time 12:30 pm today an incredible swarm of bees descended upon my backyard hovering for about 15 min. above my pool area. It appeared as though they covered the entirety of my backyard. In my entire life I have never seen that many bees in one location! I was having a meeting inside my home and my guest, looking out onto my backyard, remarked to me about the presence of the bees. It looked like thousands of them, however they seemed to move on to the next yard as quickly as they came.

I live in Virginia Beach, VA. It was amazing to me reading this article that an army of bees attacked by backyard at the same time they appeared at the White House!

the press corp? no they are too docile

Why do bees hate America?

WOW ! Even the bees are angry !!

This is a good omen.

Maybe the bees are after OBAMA – they must have drank the kool-aid!!! LOL-LOL.

What did Michelle plant in that garden?????

So even the bees are drawn in by our President's sweet talk? Well at least it wasn't flies.

Is Michelle's beehive next to the veggie gardent causing these problems?!

Hey, Michelle - dig up your own backyard in Chicago to plant veggies (for YOUR daughters) and install a beehive there!!!!!!!!!!!!!

White House Grounds are a national monument - under the jurisdiction of the National Parks Service - they do NOT belong to YOU!

If one has a Rose Garden, why would one be surprised there are bees?

It's Rove's fault!!!

First a raccoon then a possum now this?

Why does nature hate Obama so?

lol is this a precurser to disclosing something large with wings...lol

Well , it certainly is good news to hear the bees are buzzing around...wasn't the word last year they were disappearing?

This means dark days are ahead for the white house.

Obviously Rush Limbaugh bees.

In some way the libs will blame Bush

Glad is wasn't locusts or the whackos would be out in force.

I am surprised Al-Qaeda hasn't claimed responsibility for the honey bee attack, after how they tried to do so over the Binghamtom shootings...

Even the Bee's dont like the new White House!

Proof- this First Family is just too swwet!

How sweet it is too have a grown up in the White House!
Even the bees know!

Thats a good sign...something sweet is about to happen.

First raccoons, now bees. Next it will be rabid republicans or pitbulls
in lipstick!

Is this a sign of things to come??? Now Obama and his administration have got the bees upset they were told to share their wealth!!!

They are "Republicans" in disguise!

or honey bees?

Right before Passover and Obama's White House is attack by a plague of "locust". Okay Bees. Bugs are Bugs.

Bees? They're really republicans in disguise buzzing around! Jk

I can't wait to see if there's any "a plague from God" comments

Really? This is news? Seriously?

For Crying Out Loud!!! We have had a bee hive of Honeybees for over 2 yrs that came into our "TINY" backyard, uninvited. And yes, we are very welcomed in have them. Honeybees are rapidly disappearing at a very alarming speed. For anyone who does know the the value of the bee, pls do some research. We are active in our Fla. backyard. We only have native plants that we labored over a long time to plant. Then came the BEES! Of course, we are not idiots running thru the area they have called home (fallen bat house). They are very docile, as are we, when we need to trim bushes around them . Water is happily enjoyed which we supplied for them. I do not know if the White House bees were destroyed, but I truly hope they are now in the hands of a trusted beekeeper. No one should have to play around bees. Yes, they do sting to hurt. It's that my gut reaction was to save the bees from the White House. I bet Obama hated it if they died. It is quite apparent his
family in the White House are the only ones, in many years, that have a heart.

What is going on....Bees,Raccoons and Michael Steele

Probably Republican bee's....wouldn't put it passed em!

There is a great movie about bees called, "Bee Movie". Watch it and you will see why they went to the White House. Have fun!

Are those bee Republicans? If they stung then had to be. If not, then are just the regular type.

How do I become head carpenter and bee-keeper at the white house?

The bees were just there to get a bailout, give them a break.

Were these "killer bees" illegals from South America or home grown? Did Homeland Security upgrade the alert level, perhaps Lou Dobbs could do a full expose of this new threat.

Took over a bush? I wonder which one?

Hey, let's make some White House honey? I bet those bees made some YUMMMY Honey with all those roses on the grounds.

I guess the bees are also upset with Obama and his global warming taxes.

Haha...all the GOPers in Congress must've emptied their bonnets...

The last sentence sounds like it's straight out of the Onion.

uhh uhh, i bet you those republicans did it, they got a truckload of bees and dumped them near the white house! dick cheny, you are my first suspect.

Strange – possums, raccoons and now bees. Something is not right here.

"CNN has not yet been able to confirm the capture of the winged invaders."

Well, you ARE a 24/7 news outlet ... get on it!

I hope that Charles Brandts got hazardous pay for today's beekeeper duties.

The thinkgs the Republicans will do to attack President Obama!

OMG its God's retribution for America electing a progressive president!

Just kldding.

Sign from God?? Anyone?? lol.

That's hilarious...the Secret Service issuing warnings for bees. I could imagine too..."Watch out! Get down!! Run!!!" LOL!!

Then I'll be like, "Haaaaa.." And before you know it, is bees that are jeopardizing my future instead. That is hilarious...

Holy mackerel....what a news story!

Shouldn't this have been posted in the Morning Buzz... HA
