— -- An Indiana meteorologist spooked off screen by a bee correctly predicted the moment would end up in her blooper reel.

The YouTube video of FOX 59 News' Jennifer Ketchmark jumping out of the shot during her live weather broadcast on Monday has nearly 150,000 views and counting.

Ketchmark was preparing to deliver a forecast of sunshine for her Indianapolis-based viewers when a bee flew into the shot of the superimposed tower-cam backdrop behind her.

The anchors who led into Ketchmark’s forecast had ironically just been talking about bees when they threw it to weather.

Ketchmark said she was laughing at their “bee conversation” but her laughs turned into shrieks when she saw the bee.

The meteorologist screamed, "Oh my God, it's back!," as she ran out of the camera’s view.

She can then be heard off screen saying, "I'm gonna end up on some blooper reel.”

Once the bee had flown away, Ketchmark regained her composure and came back to the weather map to deliver her forecast.

“Let’s get past the tower cam,” she said. “I don’t want to look at it anymore.”

A good-natured Ketchmark later took to social media to laugh again at her blooper moment.

And on Facebook Ketchmark posted two photos and the message,: "Just had a little visitor in my tower cam shot. As you can see, I did not like it! #NoBugs #EEK"
