A huge swarm of bees was spotted on a park bench in Oxfordshire, causing alarm last week.
The bees have now safely been rehomed by a local beekeeper.
Kate Newman, who has been beekeeping with her father since she was 5 years old said that bees swarming is a 'natural process'.
When a new queen is born the old queen finds a new hive and the group swarms in random places until they find a good spot.

The a 43-year-old, who has bee hives in Oxfordshire and Northamptonshire, described the swarm she was called to on a park bench near St Mary's Church in Witney as particularly 'angry'.
It had been disturbed by a group of young people throwing items at it.
She said: "I've never been stung before collecting a swarm but I was stung then, through my bee suit."
If you spot a swarm of bees report it to Oxfordshire Beekeepers' Association (OBKA).
