Drivers on the New Jersey Turnpike got a bit of a shock this weekend when thousands of honeybees swarmed the highway.

I can't even stand one bee near my window let alone thousands of them enveloping my car!

Turnpike Authority spokesman Joseph Orlando says the swarm came from a beekeeper's beehive that apparently fell beside the highway in Cherry Hill.

The Turnpike Authority is looking for its own beekeeper to deal with the problem.
