The Padres’ Sunday afternoon game against the Marlins was delayed 28 minutes when a swarm of bees invaded Petco Park.
The bees arrived as the Padres were batting in the bottom of the third inning as hundreds of bees were first seen above right field.
As a few Marlins players left the field for the visitors’ dugout, the bees then moved toward the infield and most eventually settled on a microphone attached to the side of the netting behind home plate, next to the Padres dugout.
Most fans seated in that half of the lower section of seats fled, but some remained to take picutres and videoes with their phones.
