The Giants and Reds were set to tee off in their series finale on 12:35 local time Monday, but things ended up being delayed, emphasis on the "bee." Bad pun aside, there was a swarm of bees above the screen behind home plate and the start of the game was delayed as a result.
Yes, there was an 18-minute bee delay.
Reds utility power hitter Derek Dietrich was all over it, too.

Even though it was pretty easy, Derek Beetrich was still a good call by the Reds social media team. Just because it's obvious doesn't mean it's bad.
Anyway, this has been your reading about a bee delay for the day. Consider yourself blessed.
