## Discrepancy

CAPTAINS AIRSPEED ON PFD INDICATED GREATER THAN  100KTS. F/O AIRSPEED INDICATED AROUND 70KTS ON TAKEOFF ROLL. TAKEOFF WAS REJECTED.  ON WALK AROUND, FOUND F/O PITOT TUBE OBSTRUCTED BY  WHAT APPEARS TO BE A BEE. REMOVED PIECES OF BEE BUT SOME STILL REMAIN.  WILL NEED TO BE BLOWN OUT.   FLUSHED F/O`S TOTAL PRESSURE (PITOT) SYS WITH DRY NITROGEN AT 29PSI FOR 5 MINUTES IAW AMM 34-10-00-03 TO REMOVE AND POSSIBLE FOREIGN DEBRIS. ALSO, R & R F/O'S PITOT TUBE IAW AMM 34-11-15-04.  LEAK AND OPS CHECK WERE NORMAL IAW AMM 34-10-00-5. OK FOR SERVICE.
