Video: Wait, how did thousands of bees suddenly appear on a busy London street?

This Topshop was a hive of activity today...

There was a real buzz on Victoria Street this afternoon…

There were some bizarre scenes in central London today when a girl (see above) was suddenly attacked by a swarm of bees after they set up camp outside a Topshop on the busy shopping street.

The insects were identified as European Honeybees and they apparently followed their queen to the unusual location.

Luckily for the people around that area, a trained bee keeper happened to be walking past at the time (convenient) and he calmed the situation down.

The footage is pretty crazy…
