A huge swarm of thousands bees was seen in a Welsh town on Sunday afternoon and people were warned to avoid the area. The insects settled for about an hour on the bonnet of a van in Maesteg. Meanwhile hundreds of them flew down the road, stuck to the ground and attached themselves to other cars.
The sudden appearance of the swarm caused drivers to roll up their windows and residents to run away, and locals say they have no idea where the bees came from. The van was parked on the corner of St Michael's Road and Station Hill. The owner of the van was alerted, and managed to get into the vehicle and disperse the bees by driving around.
Local county councillor Ross Penhale-Thomas for Maesteg West went to investigate the insects and shared a post on a community Facebook group advising people to avoid the area. He said: “A resident alerted me to a swarm that had attached itself to a vehicle in the area.
