A swarm of bees have landed on one of Cardiff city centre's busiest streets on Wednesday afternoon. Pedestrians on St Mary's Street in the Welsh capital city spotted the mass of bees on the pavement near the street's bars and restaurants.
The bees were soon coned off but remained on the pavement in the sunshine. According to the British Beekeepers Association, most honey bee swarms are not aggressive but they advise people to keep away and leave them alone. Honey bee swarming is natural and usually happens when the bees are looking for a new home.
A swarm of bumblebees are also best left alone, says the association, as they are valuable pollinators, with some being endangered. This isn't the first time a swarm of bees have landed in Cardiff.
