Bees swarm into Newbury town centre

Northbrook Street in Newbury was a hive of activity today (Wednesday) when a swarm of bees were spotted outside Marks & Spencer.

Shoppers looked on in amazement as the bees buzzed around a bicycle attached to a bicycle rack before they were taken away.

Dan Maskell sent over this picture of the bees before they were removed by beekeepers.

Bees must be fond of Newbury town centre because in 2017 a large swarm clustered around Cote in Northbrook Street.
