I was on the phone with my brother and he was driving between Bryan/College Station and San Marcos...and he drove through a swarm of bees.
3 minutes later. Still on the phone. Im an Entomologist and Apiarist and grilling him with questions about the several hundred dead insects gut splatters covering his windshield and attempting to identify said gut splatter whilst were both driving. He starts croning that said unidentified insect should “know better than to fly over roadway”...its been gusty windy and I explain to him why flying low is better....
Suddenly my windshield is peppered with juicy bodies.
I drove through a swarm (moving West to East) on TX Hwy 95 between Granger and Taylor. I was able to identify the bees by the three dead bodies on the right windshield wiper.
I got home and told my wife...She said...”Those werent our bees were they?”
...(20 miles away). I hope not!
