CHERRY HILL, N.J. - Drivers on the New Jersey Turnpike have to cope every day with traffic jams, pollution and even the occasional deer.

Turnpike Authority spokesman Joseph Orlando says the swarm came from a beekeeper's beehive that apparently fell beside the highway in Cherry Hill.

The Turnpike Authority is looking for its own beekeeper to deal with the problem.
