Bulls and bears take back seat to bees

We usually think of Wall Street belonging to bulls or bears but for a short while last Sunday Wall Street belonged to the bees.

A swarm of bees unnerved New Yorkers before settling on the door of Cipriani's on 55 Wall Street -- but they were removed without incident and are on their way to a hive at some undisclosed location in Connecticut.

Nobody was hurt and no one panicked -- people just gathered to witness the rarity, Verner said. Police closed off a section of Wall Street to allow NYPD specialists to respond to the emergency, using a special device to suck up the bees.

The bees were taken to an undisclosed location in Connecticut.
