Buzz off: Thousands of excited insects turned the bicycle basket into a buzzing bomb the size of a football in March, Cambridgeshire causing a stir in the local community

A pensioner looks at the buzzing bees from a safe distance. Worried Carol Key, manager of nearby menswear shop Dobsons, said her bicycle was alongside the buzzing bike

Up close: The bees swarm around the bike basket. Malcolm Jackson, a volunteer at an RSPCA shop, alerted police and was put in touch with beekeeper Edward Turner

Help: A beekeeper arrived to remove the bees and took them to his own apiary before anyone was stung
