Newtownabbey estate taken over by swarm of bees

All Mandy Burns wanted was to go home.

But, unfortunately, several thousand "massive" bees had other ideas.

They wouldn't buzz off from Old Mossley in Newtownabbey and Mandy was stuck in her car dying to use the loo on Monday.

The swarm took over half an hour to disappear - but thankfully she was unscathed.

She told Belfast Live: "They were massive! I’m allergic to them so I was sitting in the car for ages - but needed a pee so had to run.

"I took the video because my husband thinks I over-exaggerate how big they are - but there were thousands of them. They stayed for about 40 minutes then disappeared."
