After Muhammad Ali's Death, Bees Swarm Near 'Sting Like A Bee' Mural In His Hometown

BALTIMORE (WJZ) -- "Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee," is one of Muhammad Ali's many memorable lines, and is perhaps his most famous phrase.

In a strange twist of fate, a bee hive swarmed on a tree right next to the mural that bears those words in his hometown of Louisville, Kentucky.

"About 15,000. Maybe a little more. It was a very big swarm," beekeeper Kevin McKinney told WLKY.

The swarm developed in the fortuitous area just days after the 74-year-old boxing legend passed away.
