    A large swarm of honey bees was discovered on the aft-brow section of the decommissioned Iowa-Class Battleship, USS Wisconsin (BB-64). A visitor alerted Nauticus staff members, and the area was quickly cordoned off to visitors. A bee keeper arrived later in the afternoon to safely relocate the bees so that they can continue to pollinate. The Wisconsin is moored permanently next to the Hampton Roads Naval Museum as a museum ship in Downtown Norfolk, Virginia. (US Navy Photo by Max Lonzanida/Released).
