Flight cancelled after massive bee swarm settles on plane wing and refuses to budge

A flight was grounded while on the tarmac preparing for departure, after the aircraft was overwhelmed by a huge swarm of bees.

The LATAM airlines plane - from Rio de Janeiro to Sao Paulo in Brazil - had been scheduled to take off at 10.30am on 17th January.

But as passengers were getting ready to board, the swarm settled on the aircraft's port wing near one of the engines.
