Bees cause a buzz on Lothian Road

The owner of this bike was temporarily unable to take it for a spin after a swarm of bees took a fancy to it.

Some local beekeepers came to the rescue, one of whom was dressed head to toe in a yellow beekeeping suit and collected the creatures.

A wisecracker on Reddit said: “That’s one way to ensure your bike doesn’t get stolen.” Another said they must have been in the wrong place as The Beehive is in the Grassmarket, and someone who works on Morrison Street suggested the bees might be from their office roof.
