Police used crime scene tape to protect the public from swarm of bees

Police used crime scene cordon tape around an area of grassland to protect people from a swarm of bees.



The swarm emanated from what appeared to be a nest in a tree in Chichester, West Sussex, at about 11.40am on Monday



A beekeeper was called, who placed a hive basket on the ground, and the area was cordoned off until all the bees had settled in their new home, which was then safely taken away from the area.



Passers-by were stopping and gazing at the basket which had been left on the ground, after their attention was drawn by the police tape.
