"Shoppers attacked by huge swarm of bees in Victoria Topshop store "


"One woman told how she was trapped in Topshop on Victoria Street for half an hour as she ducked for cover afraid of being attacked."
My idea of hell being trapped inside top shop but possibly a good excuse for turning up late at work with shopping bags.

I saw another report on this earlier today which reported it as "A plague of bee's attacked shoppers outside Topshop"........

They look like bees in the photograph on the BBC Newsbeat website, and they quote a local beekeeper who assisted in collecting them.

It's also on the Daily Mail website - with the usual gloss of hysteria, emotive language and 'terrifying' adjectives.

says here

"Beekeepers responded swiftly and removed the bees in a mobile hive to a safe place"

No hysteria on BBC site.
Caught by Tony Mann.......anybody here?

Saw this earlier on the bbc website..... I love how they have put up tape to cordon off a little area.....

I wonder if the bees obeyed the exclusion area...

Also, how many beeks does it take to collect a swarm at ground level???
