Can you bee-lieve this?!?
The start of the Dodgers vs. Diamondbacks game was delayed by nearly two hours on Tuesday ... and it's all 'cause a massive swarm of bees infiltrated the diamond.
The insects first began hovering around Chase Field's home plate just minutes before first pitch was slated to go down in Arizona ... and after a while, so many of them congregated, officials had to press pause on the action in order to get an expert out to the field.
Eventually, a beekeeper named Matt Hilton was brought on to the scene to handle the situation .
