Commuters have stumbled across a swarm of bees right in the middle of Manchester city centre at a pedestrian crossing.
Once the Queen bee decided to pitch on the crossing light at the junction of Cross Street and King Street, the bees swarmed in their tens of thousands.
It meant that nearby husband and wife beekeeping duo Gareth and Louise Trehearn, moved into a temporary hive in order to rehouse the swarm, in an operation that took two-and-a-half-hours.
