The only living creatures I’ve ever encountered in Times Square are pigeons,flies and rats.

If they are honey bees, it’s suicide to swarm this time of year. They will never produce enough to get through the winter.

I am guessing it’s not a real swarm. My other guess is they are not honey bees. Most city people would not know the difference.
