A shocking video shows a massive swarm of bees resting on a metal pole in central London.
The unsettling footage shows a nest of insects right outside Hogan Lovells' office, near the Holborn Viaduct.
In a clip posted on Twitter , the firm wrote: "We found a swarm of bees outside our office!
"We keep bees as part of our commitment to environment & HLCitizenship.
"Swarming is nothing to worry about but don't think these are ours."
"It was good to find out our neighbours amazon also beekeep on their roof!"
A number of terrified pedestrians were seen sheepishly getting as far away from the insects as possible.
Swarms of bees have plagued major cities and towns in Britain over the last few weeks as the weather begins pick up.
Shocking videos show the insects buzzing along busy streets across the UK.
Swarms of bees were seen flying above shoppers in Canarby Street, London, but many were oblivious to them.
Anish Pujara, who works on Carnaby Street, told Mirror Online: "I saw the bees up close. There were thousands of them swarming through Carnaby Street.
"Lots of people were stopping to take videos of them. We were just glad there was a glass between us and them!'"
The UK's warmer weather has brought favourable conditions for the bees, as they continue to find resting spots across towns and cities.
One swarm even made home on a shopping trolley in Prestatyn, and another hive was found along the footsteps of a house in Plymouth.
Rob Green, who spotted the nest told Plymouth Live: "Lots of people weren't seeing it until they walked right into them - so they end up walking through them. They just aren't seeing them until it's too late.
"It's a busy footpath. There seems to be a crack or hole in the wall and I don't know if the bees are trying to set up a new home or are just resting before heading on.
"There's buses and cars driving past and into the swarm.
"I saw one guy going forwards and filming them, but then started waving his arms about hitting them.
"I've got a friend who studies bees and trying to kill bees when you're in the middle of a swarm is not a bright thing to do.
"People should not be trying to swat them - it's pretty dangerous. If they turned on a person, that would be it for them.
"I think the council or someone should be aware and make sure the bees are safe and no-one gets hurt."
