At the risk of touching off a new wave of hysteria like the one that gripped the entertainment industry during the Great Killer Bee Scare Of Mid-April, we pass along this breaking report of swarm activity on the Fox lot:

Bees on the Fox lot.

Bee swarm, Stage 14, House.

No witty internal memo regarding said pests to pass along, but a grip may have been allegedly stung.

We're grateful that this swarm seems to have appeared so late in the day, when most potential victims have probably headed home, but employees should exercise extra caution when they return to work tomorrow. No one wants to see their assistant go down in a hail of stings before they've safely completed the morning Starbucks run.
