Very thirsty bees close down parts of Joshua Tree National Park

LA Times  

Busy bees — jonesing for water, including from sweaty park visitors — have shut down parts of Joshua Tree National Park, park officials said. “In the summer, water becomes scarce and bees seek water sources just like our other park wildlife,” the post said. “However, this can include condensation from air conditioners, visitor sweat and bathrooms.” The closure will reduce the amount of water available in the area and give the bees an opportunity to leave, the National Park Service said. A park ranger helped draw the bees away by pouring water in a trail on the ground, they said, and advised them to drive until the rest of the bees flew away.
