Weird BUT true

-

The water at a Nevada rest stop is as sweet as honey, apparently.

A swarm of busy bees forced the wayside along US Route 95 to shut down for the second time in three months after hundreds of them swarmed water faucets and toilets.

The Nevada Transporta­tion Department is consulting with beekeepers to come up with a solution.

A hawk grabbing a quick lunch is being blamed for a massive wildfire in Montana.

Black Eagle Volunteer Fire Department officials found the charred carcass of the winged predator carrying a snake after the 40-acre fire was doused.

Officials believe the hawk was carrying its prey home when the snake made contact with an electrical wire, triggering the blaze.

A green fireball spotted in the sky over the East Coast Friday night had social media in a frenzy, with some posters suggesting it was a divine message.

People from West Virginia to Washington, DC, to Brooklyn reported seeing the blazing trail. An observator­y in Toronto released footage of the phenomenon, which was likely a meteor rather than an interstell­ar missive.

It’s an alarming start to spider season in northern England.

Spiders are starting to head back indoors in search of a mate and warmth. One man in the Manchester area found one in his house so big, it set off the burglar alarm. And it wasn’t alone: the big bug was with a mate that was just as large.

It’s mating season for rattlesnak­es out west.

A backyard playhouse was the nesting site for one of the slithery creatures in Ridgecrest, Calif.

A couple heard a rattling noise in their yard and spotted an adult rattlesnak­e peering out of their kids’ plastic playhouse, where they had been playing a short time earlier. Animalcont­rol officers also found 18 4-inch-long snakelets. Eileen AJ Connelly, Wires
