On April 30, 2024, a swarm of bees at Chase Field delayed the game between the Los Angeles Dodgers and the Arizona Diamondbacks for nearly two hours. The bees settled on netting behind home plate, prompting safety concerns among players and officials. Manager Dave Roberts emphasized the importance of safety while balancing the need to manage game logistics. A beekeeper ultimately resolved the situation by relocating the bees with a non-toxic solution, allowing the game to proceed later that evening.
"I think right now, we're just trying to figure out the situation... obviously, safety is the most important thing, but as far as the game itself, we've got both starters ready to go."
"A beekeeper arrived and sprayed the bees with a non-toxic solution and relocated them to a site away from the ballpark, allowing the game to ultimately commence."
