I'm wondering if there was a rash of calls from beekeepers to local
news sources, correcting the first version and educating them on the
difference between bees and yellow jackets.  It looks like many of
the stories were revised between the time that Google found them and
the time I looked, replacing "swarm of bees" by "nest of yellow
jackets".  Someone got a clue . . . I wonder how it happened.
