Leading up to the game's release, Halo 2 fans proudly, and perhaps ironically, declared "I Love Bees," in reference to the viral marketing campaign of the same name. However, over the weekend, the sentiment would find itself lost to employees of a New York GameStop who found themselves trapped within their store by the very same creatures.

Passers-by and would-be customers had to avoid the store, which posted a sign reading "Look! ... closed due to bee infestation." But this did not stop one good samaritan, Edward Albers, who did what he could in order to help. Dressed in regular clothes, he managed to lure many of the bees into a box, and all without getting stung.

Soon, a bee specialist by the name of Tony Planakis arrived donning protective gear, and he used the scent of the queen bee to lure the rest of the swarm away, so that they may be taken to a hive upstate.

And now, the Union Square GameStop, in one of the city's busiest shopping areas, is open for bees-iness once again.
