Although bee swarms are not usually aggressive, they should only be removed by professional beekeepers, according to NYC Health. Pedestrians should keep a safe distance.
Several individuals have called 311 and 911 and are waiting for a response.

New Yorkers sweating ‘everywhere' inside most punishing subway stop during heat wave: ‘No air in here'
New Yorkers were 'sweating from everywhere' in Manhattan's most punishing subway station during the Big Apple's heat wave Monday — and the worst is yet to come. Temperatures clocked in at 100 degrees on the dot at the Brooklyn Bridge-City Hall subway station, according to a thermometer brought underground by The Post — as suffering residents looked for any relief at the start of a miserably hot week. 'You're sweating from everywhere,' Abby Figueroa, 44, said inside the station. 'Not just your pits, everywhere.' 6 Temperatures clocked in at 100 degrees on the dot at the Brooklyn Bridge-City Hall subway station. Michael Nagle The customer service rep from the Bronx said other train stations were actually cooler than outside on the sidewalk, but not the lower Manhattan station. Outside temperatures were only slightly better at 95 degrees as of 5 p.m. Monday. 'It's Africa down here! I've been to South Africa with my church, it's Africa down here,' Figueroa said inside the station. An uptown 6 train conductor, Calvin, also told The Post the Brooklyn Bridge stop is a real scorcher compared to other stations, blaming poor ventilation. 6 Outside temperatures were only slightly better at 95 degrees as of 5 p.m. Monday. Gregory P. Mango 'What's the hottest station in the system? This stop's the hottest,' he said. 'They got no air in here.' Meanwhile Lisa Ferra, 49, was suffering along with her 7-year-old grandson Jordan. 'I thought it would be a little cooler down here. I feel like I'm in an oven,' Ferra said. 'I'm just gonna stay home tomorrow with the air conditioning on.' 6 'What's the hottest station in the system? This stop's the hottest,' Calvin said. 'They got no air in here.' Emmy Park for A 26-year-old subway performer from Crown Heights also condemned the Brooklyn Bridge station for its hellish conditions. 'This is the worst. 42nd Street [station] is the best, Grand Central the AC is coming right out of the vents,' Ray said. 'I'm going right there. I'm going there now.' Elsewhere, city dwellers were doing their best to stay cool in the oppressive heat. 6 A 26-year-old subway performer from Crown Heights also condemned the Brooklyn Bridge station for its hellish conditions. Matthew McDermott Monika Monika, a content creator and model, took off her shirt while taking a shower on the Coney Island boardwalk. 'What am I doing to keep cool? Taking off as much clothes as possible,' the 32-year-old Coney Island resident proclaimed. 'Enjoying the rights and freedoms that America offers a woman like me in 2025 where I can freely walk around topless.' 6 Monika Monika, a content creator and model, took off her shirt while taking a shower on the Coney Island boardwalk.

Flatbush resident Jayda Jones, 23, and her daughter were lying under a pink umbrella on the Brooklyn beach for some relief, but had to hold their nose as some people walked by. 6 'I'm skinny. I need the heat,' Monika said. 'I have no body fat to keep me covered so I need the heat.' James Messerschmidt 'It's extremely hot. Hotter than usual but it's bearable under this umbrella. I'm drinking my Gatorade, my water,' she said, adding. 'Honestly I smelled a couple musty people out here, but that's on them not me.' Temperatures could be slightly hotter Tuesday, almost reaching 100 degrees and in the mid-90s on Wednesday before the weather cools down a bit the rest of the week.

Millions at risk amid widespread heat wave
Nearly 190 million Americans are under some form of heat advisory or warning as of Monday afternoon amid an early summer heat wave. Why it matters: The event, which broke temperature records across the West and Alaska before shifting east, is bringing an especially dangerous combination of heat and humidity. Much of the eastern U.S. is at "major" or "extreme" risk of heat-related impacts this week, per the National Weather Service's experimental HeatRisk index. By the numbers: Nearly 370 daily high temperature records were tied or broken between last Monday and Saturday, according to NOAA data. Boulder, Colorado and nearby Fort Collins broke 131-year and 130-year daily records, respectively, with highs of 98°F in both cities. A 119-year daily record fell in Paradise, Arizona with a high of 100°F, while a 108-year daily record in Provo, Utah was toppled at 102°F. Zoom in: The extreme conditions are being driven by a " heat dome," with high pressure trapping warm, humid air over vast areas. Between the lines: Human-caused climate change is making heat waves both more likely and more intense, researchers say. While daytime highs often make the headlines, average nighttime temperatures are also increasing nationwide — meaning evenings can offer less respite. Threat level: People with underlying health conditions, outdoor workers and those without air conditioning are especially vulnerable to heat waves. Heavy A/C use, meanwhile, may strain electric grids and cause blackouts. Power outages were affecting thousands of people in Queens, New York as of Monday afternoon, per local station PIX11. What they're saying: " Heat tends to have cumulative effects on the body, and we are currently forecasting three consecutive days of 95°F+ and 5-6 days of 90°F+ taking into account temperatures this past weekend," reads a Monday afternoon forecast discussion from the NWS' Mt. Holly, New Jersey office.
