Bees in his bonnet: Swarm set up home on car as man pops into shop

One motorist literally had bees in his bonnet when a swarm set up home on his car in Ardmore, Co Waterford.

Gerry O’Mahoney had parked briefly to buy an ice cream at the village’s Beachcomber shop on the village’s main street. He emerged to find a swarm of bees had attached themselves to his Opel Zafira.

The bees opted to settle just above the front-left tyre.
