蜂后被困车内 蜜蜂追寻两天集体救驾

　　(CNN)This is the story of a ferocious army determined to rescue their queen from a metal fortress.

　　（CNN）这是一个神奇的故事，一支精悍的军队誓死要将他们的王后从金属堡垒中救出来。

　　Or, viewed another way, a swarm of bees who, for two days, followed their queen bee trapped inside a Mitsubishi Outlander.

　　或者换个方式来说，一窝蜜蜂，追寻了两天的时间，跟上了被一辆三菱欧蓝德困住的蜂后。

　　Either way, it makes for a good tale.

　　不管哪一种方式来讲述这个故事，都会是一则很棒的童话故事。

　　The Outlander belongs to Carol Howarth, a 68-year-old grandmother, who had no idea she’d picked up a tiny winged passenger when she visited a nature reserve.

　　这辆欧蓝德的主人叫卡罗·豪沃思，一名68岁的老妇人。她不知道她去参观自然保护区的时候是怎么会半道搭载了这么一个小小的长着翅膀的乘客。

　　Later, when she stopped to go shopping in Haverfordwest, West Wales, the bees descended - thousands and thousands of them.

　　之后，她开车去西威尔士的哈佛韦斯特购物，停车时几千只蜜蜂大军从天而降。

　　We’ll let local ranger Tom Moses take it from here.

　　我们让当地的护林员汤姆·摩西来帮忙把他们弄走。

　　Moses, who works as a Pembrokeshire Coast National Park ranger, was driving by when he happened upon the raid.

　　摩西是一名国家公园彭布罗克郡海岸国家公园护林员，事发时他正好开车经过。

　　"Driving through town noticed this going on outside the Lower Three Crowns and couldn’t resist getting involved!" he wrote in a pun-filled post on his Facebook page. (Headline: Bee-rilliant swarm.)

　　他在他的脸书上用双关语写道，“开车穿过镇子时，在 Lower Three Crowns餐厅门外看到这样的景象，怎么能不帮忙呢！”（标题：雄壮的蜜蜂大军）

　　He was worried someone might do something "stupid."Bees are already dying from habitat loss and terrible farming practices, like pesticide use, he figured. The last thing you want is someone to pour boiling water on them to shoo them away from a car.

　　他担心可能有人做出“傻事”。他认为，由于栖息地锐减以及一些可怕的农牧行为比如使用杀虫剂，蜜蜂已经是流离失所。最不希望看到的就是有人向它们泼开水来把他们驱离汽车。

　　So, he called in reinforcements -- the intrepid folks at the Pembrokeshire Beekeepers Association.

　　因此，他打电话找了救援——彭布罗克郡养蜂人协会的养蜂人们。

　　They gingerly nudged the bees into a box. Not so gingerly though. There were several stinging incidents like the "drunk bloke from pub went and swept a load of bees off car with hand looking for queen, got stung loads pfffft....."

　　他们小心翼翼地将蜜蜂装进盒子里。但还不够小心，还是发生了几次叮咬事故，比如“从酒吧出来的醉醺醺的小子走上前用手驱赶一大波找蜂后的蜜蜂，结果被蛰得面目全非”。

　　You’d think that would be the end of the story, but you’d be wrong.

　　如果你以为这就是故事的结尾，你就特错特错了。

　　The next morning, Howarth found the bees were back, she told The Telegraph.

　　第二天早上，豪沃思发现蜜蜂又回来了，她告诉电讯报记者。

　　So once again, out came the beekeepers.

　　因此，养蜂人们又来了一次。

　　By 6 p.m., her Outlander was free of the bees. (No word though on what happened to the queen.)

　　一直到晚上六点，她的欧蓝德才终于从蜜蜂手中解放出来。（但没说蜂后究竟怎么样了）

　　Moses says members of colonies often follow their queen bee if she moves hives.And queens moves hives if the hives are disturbed -- say, by humans. Or by the arrival of another queen bee.

　　摩西说如果蜂后换巢，工蜂们一般都会一直跟着它。而蜂后一般会在蜂巢被人或者被另外一个蜂后惊扰的情况下选择换巢。

　　He speculates the shiny warm Mitsubishi might have seemed like a good option for a new home.

　　他推测这个锃光瓦亮的温暖的欧蓝德可能看起来像是蜜蜂新家的不错选择。
