A swarm of bees attacked an English pre-season football friendly on Saturday, with a bee-keeper having to be called to clear the hive.
The incident happened at Oldham’s ground in north-west England where the home side were to face Blackburn Rovers with photographs showing the bees had built a hive around the goalposts at one end.
“You cannot BEE serious? Hope everyone is swarming down today…,” tweeted Oldham FC. Once the danger was cleared, the match went ahead with Blackburn winning 2-0.
