A Michigan man came across the rare sight of thousands of bees when he was filling his truck with gas.

The incident occurred near the town of Boon this morning (August 9) at a Marathon gas station.

The filmer said: "Their nest is beneath the Marathon sign and the rain from the night prior had ruined the bees' home. So the bees decided not to leave, but cluster around their queen. It was exhilarating to me because I love bugs and insects!"
