Bees surprise workers clearing massive tree that landed on cars

A massive tree fell across a street in Pittsburgh’s Squirrel Hill neighborhood early Friday morning.

The tree crashed down about 1 a.m. It uprooted in the front yard of a home.

But it was what was inside the tree that was a problem.

While crews worked to remove the tree, they encountered bees inside it.

In addition to the buzzy bees, as the tree fell, it lifted part of a cement walkway to the home and brought down wires. It landed on at least two cars across the street, damaging four in total.
