A large swarm of bees have been spotted near Deansgate in central Manchester this afternoon, as revellers enjoy the sunny weather. The bees covered a traffic light on the corner of King Street and Cross Street, as temperatures in Manchester hit 25 degrees.
Video footage captured the moment that thousands of the flying insects were spotted at the busy city centre junction on Sunday (July 10). People could even be seen covering their faces with their clothes and ducking down in a bid to escape the swarm.
"I know Manchester is known for bees, but this was a bit extreme," Jen, who saw the bees while out and about this afternoon, tweeted. The bees were also seen gathering on an adjacent postbox on King Street.
