George Neal's housemate, Rory Edwards, was forced to ring pest control after the insects made an unscheduled stopover on their way to another hive.

Bees, bonnets etc

"Although none of us are allergic, we thought George probably would not want his car covered in a swarm of bees. He did literally have a bee in his bonnet though."

The phenomenon is relatively common this time of year as swarms accompany their queen to new hives.
