Don’t Bee Stupid: Delta Flight Needlessly Delayed Over Bee Swarm

Matthew Klint Posted onMay 4, 2023 63 Comments

A bee swarm on the winglet of Delta Air Lines Airbus A320 was problematic, but the solution was rather simple: just turn on the engine. Instead, Delta delayed the flight for four hours as it sat wondering what to do. Keep climbing?

Delta Air Lines Bee Delay

As first noted by Eye of the Flyer, on Wednesday May 3, 2023, Delta flight DL1682 arrived from Atlanta (ATL) into Houston (IAH) and was scheduled to return to Atlanta (Delta oddly uses the same flight numbers for multiple flights). The flight was operated by an A320, with registration N399NW.

Maybe it was the Georgia peaches onboard, but bees decided to congregate on the triangular winglet of the A320…hundreds of them. Maybe thousands.

So Delta delayed the flight…apparently hoping they would just buzz off.

My flight leaving Houston is delayed because bees have congregated on the tip of one of the wings. They won’t let us board until they remove the bees. But how on earth will this happen? Won’t they leave the wing when we take off? pic.twitter.com/DhodBz0m5n

A beekeeper was called. Pointless.

Pest control was called in. Pointless. They would not spray the plane.

The fire department called. Pointless. They said they had no water hose…at Houston Bush Intercontinental Airport? Right.

So everyone just sat there.

You remember Wee Willy Wasp on my JetBlue flight? Once the plane started moving, he buzzed off.

Well, Delta needed the gate for another flight so it was eventually decided the A320 would be moved to another place.

But lo and behold, when the engines were turned on, the bees immediately flew away. #Rocket_Science

Omg y’all. Entire the flight crew deplaned. Delta decided to give our gate to another flight. As soon as our plane’s engine turned on, THE BEES LEFT!!! All Delta had to do was TURN ON THE PLANE pic.twitter.com/gILlJ8EMZg

I’ve taken a light-hearted look at this situation, but there are some genuine concerns to hundreds of bees being sucked into the engine of a plane. The incident is not unprecedented, with a similar incident occurring on an F-22 Raptor, where the stealth aircraft was no match for 20,000 bees. Perhaps a three-hour delay is better than a longer mechanical delay due to an engine filled with bees…

An F-22 covered with bees (USAF)

But I would have thought that first turning on the engine would have been a no-brainer.

    Read this on Twitter and was shocked not only at the stupidity of Delta and its staff but even more so the holier than thou idea that the welfare of the bees was more important than the flight. I very much doubt that the bees would have affected the safe take off of the plane, but in any case they should have been removed by any means necessary.

      Bees and wasps have been known to bring down commercial airliners. They can plug-up crucial sensors. The airline did this to protect the passengers!

        Have you ever heard of an “angle of attack” sensor? Did you ever wonder how it works? If the hole in the sensor is plugged by bee/wasp activity… the sensor doesn’t work. Duh.

          Here’s another thing to think about….

          If you are of average intelligence, that means that 50% of people are stupider than you!

    Wondering how long it took for those bees to get there. Usually planes land, get to the gate and leave really soon so how did that happen? The US is becoming a weird place. People are way too soft, everything is a big deal, everything hurts people’s feelings, welfare of bees, BS of this, BS of that and that is why dictators fromRussia and China are taking advantage. I definitely think we need a huge recession, maybe a war so all this BS will go away.

If I moved abroad and started telling everyone how their country should be run I’d be an ugly American, and the outcome probably for me probably wouldnt be good.

            “say things need to change, and tell people whos families have been here for generations that they need to leave”

            That is exactly what is happening though, and much more on the left than the right. Yes, there might be an uprising of conservative support with Latinos in Florida and Texas, but overall we have many leftists relocating here, legally or not, with their many demands to implement socialism and the rest.

            One of my good friends from Kazakhstan is a citizen now via green card. She agrees with all of the points that I make and Santastico makes. I don’t mean this an insult, but many foreigners have a better grip on the issues than most here, not being subjected to the propaganda and narratives that Americans are.

            Billy you have to rise above the level of red and blue thinking. It’s micro. Macro > micro. I am a broken record but you must rise above it eventually. All of the division including race and political affiliation is a distraction from the more pressing issue(s).

            Divided by political affiliation.
            Divided by class.
            When you are divided, and angry, and controlled, you target those ‘different’ from you, not those responsible [controllers].
            Divided you are weak.
            Divided you pose no threat to their control.

            Bruh. You don’t want to go to elections. Your point *might* be valid if elections were fair and Dominion et al wasn’t programmed to flip to 51% – 49% in favor of the left, in so many races, as you see constantly. PLEASE!

            This divide is not nearly as big as you think it is and you TRULY are in the minority!

            A vocal minority, I’ll give you that, but still a minority.

            e can revisit this topic once elections are shored up. In the meantime, there’s plenty of info about elections not being secure.

            — TO BE CLEAR —
            — FACT: —

            — It’s not that there is no evidence the election stolen, but that no court has the guts to hear the evidence! They dismissed the cases–

            NOT!
            the!
            evidence!

            They refused to look at it, because the price of getting involved was too high!

            *THIS* is how evil destroys a republic!–

            I certainly wouldn’t want to be the judges in Maricopa handling the multiple suits, for example, We the People Arizona Alliance v Maricopa et al, or Kari Lake v Katie Hobbs et al and the many others from patriots like Abe Hamadeh and Blake Masters.

            If Maricopa Superior Court isn’t fair, Lake is going to SCOTUS. I wouldn’t want that checkmate, but hey, let’s see what happens. God bless that woman.

They were not on the engine, but on the winglet…very unlikely they would have been sucked in.

      I understand everyone wants their points and miles and travel experiences only blog black. I get it. Do you think I really feel like talking about this stuff myself? Does Santastico or any other reasonable commenter? NO. It just simply is reality for our world right now. When you have ASD it makes it hard to lie and be quiet when gross negligence or gross wrongs are occurring, despite that being the much easier way out. I do believe, in hindsight, you will see that the only reason that aviation as a whole will even be partially intact in the future is if we actually do talk about things that matter: right here and right now. I did not vote for Trump in 2016 however Robinette has had his chance. If you wanted better candidates, then provide them. “Trump Trolls” didn’t decide, for example, to change decades of precedent for a first class medical. If you didn’t want us in aviation, you shouldn’t have made egregious errors. Trump Trolls have friends and family in the industry and/or they travel, too. Why the f are reasonable people in this world insisting we shut up about S A F E T Y?

      Also, a repost but yeah, Trump Trolls will try to see what we can do about this, too:

    Why was the beekeeper pointless? My neighbor’s mailbox got swarmed– it has a wooden frame/housing, and they were concerned that the swarm would settle there. They called a beekeeper and that swarm was relocated in a few hours.

    Was it that the wing was too high up, or the beekeeper just laughed and wouldn’t come out, or is it just pointless because really they just needed to turn on the engine.

    • Matthew Klint Reply
      May 4, 2023 at 8:44 pm

      According to other stories, the beekeeper wanted to spray something on the winglet and the pilots would not allow it.

@malaysiaairlines just announced it would retire i @malaysiaairlines just announced it would retire its A380 fleet. While not surprising, it is sad to see the growing list of carriers retiring this superjumbo jet. On Malaysia Airlines, I flew the #A380 once from Kuala Lumpur (KUL) to London (LHR) and had the entire first class cabin to myself (full review on the blog).

While I’ve enjoyed catching up on others over the years, now it is time for me to return to Instagram. In this first post, I highlight two joys in my life, my two children, whom I trust will grow up to be prolific travelers that circumnavigate the globe as ambassadors of love and respect.
