This is the incredible moment thousands of bees descended on a BMW parked outside an office block in Manchester city centre.
Footage shows the swarm of bees covering the entire back window of the car on St James Square, near Deansgate.
Crowds gathered to watch the spectacle shortly after midday today (15 June).
A bee keeper is now understood to have arrived at the scene, and could be seen attempting to get the hive into a cardboard box.

The owner of the BMW is reportedly yet to return to their car - which is probably for the best.
Michael Hewitt, 55, had been returning from his lunch break when he noticed a 'commotion' outside his office building.

Just last week, a street in Wigan also became a bustling hive of activity after a swam or bees similarly descended on a car.
Pictures showed a cluster of bees resting on the windows of two cars on Rydal Street in Leigh.
According to the British Beekeepers Association, a honeybee colony will swam to reproduce, when the old queen leaves a colony with some of the bees.
They leave their hive and find a spot to wait in until their scout bees decide on a new home for the colony.
Most of the time, bees will swarm on warm, sunny days between May and July, usually after a spell of poor weather.
Thousands of bees will usually come together in a large noisy cloud during the swarm, before settling in a cluster whilst they wait for the scouts to return.
Most honey bee swarms are not aggressive, but people are asked to stay away from them as a precaution.
