PGA Tour star, Max Homa's mind was off of birdies and onto bees during his round on Thursday -- at least momentarily -- 'cause one of the winged insects landed right on his ball ... and didn't want to move!!!
The funny scene all happened on the ninth green at Torrey Pines at the Farmers Insurance Open ... when Homa went to line up his birdie putt.

Broadcast video shows as the 32-year-old golfer reached down to examine his ball, a bee was parked on it ... and seemed rather cozy.
Homa tried -- carefully, we might add -- to get the little guy to move, but he wasn't budging.
"He's tyring to get rid of a frequent flyer there," one of the event's broadcaster's joked.
Eventually, Homa got it to fly away -- avoiding the stinger in the process.

Homa didn't let the interaction bother him -- he drained his ensuing 22-foot putt for a birdie ... and is currently putting together a buzzworthy run (...sorry) in the tourney, sitting at No. 4 on the leaderboard.
