What’s the buzz in San Diego?

I’m watching this unfold on ESPN America, with coverage being provided by Fox Sports Houston. 

A swarm of bees has descended on a chair just by the left field line, during the top of the 9th Inning.  Houston Astros were leading the San Diego Padres by 6 to 1 with 2 outs down in the top of the 9th, when the left fielder comes in and alerts the umpires to the situation.  A swarm of bees has taken up temporary residence under a jacket that had been worn by one of the ball girls.

I’m told that swarms have stopped other sporting events, but I have to say, this is the first time I have seen this happen.  It’s fascinating coverage right now, and they’re saying that they expect play to resume in the next 15 to 30 minutes.
