Hot Buzz! Police are ridiculed after sending team of officers to deal with a swarm of bees
Police have been ridiculed for sending a team of officers to deal with a swarm of bees that had landed on a traffic light pole. A photo posted on social media shows officers and a PCSO looking flummoxed as they stare at the cluster of pollinators in the centre of Winchester, Hampshire. The bees had gathered on the post in the Cathedral city as they waited to find out where their new home would be - a practice known as swarming, where a group breaks off from the main hive to follow a new queen. On Facebook, one resident joked that it had taken the city's 'finest' to protect the 'queen'. There were plenty of puns in the comments with locals saying 'let's bee having you', and 'hot buzz' - a play on the slang term 'hot fuzz' which was used as the title for Edgar Wright's police comedy starring Simon Pegg and Nick Frost. Others suggested it was a 'sting operation' or a 'honey trap' that would require police to '(honey) comb the area'. Someone else added it was a 'worthy cause' as bees 'do more good than people'. Swarming season occurs between May and July and can involve thousands of bees, the creatures hang in a cluster whilst 'scouts' go and find a new home for the breakaway colony. A photo posted on social media shows two officers and a PCSO looking flummoxed as they stare at the cluster of pollinators in the centre of Winchester, Hampshire One of Britain's leading beekeepers warned earlier this month the heatwave could create a 'nectar tsunami' that triggers a rapid swarming event. Laurence Edwards, 39, said: 'After the recent hot spell, beekeepers across the UK are seeing an explosion in swarming activity and the soaring temperatures over the next few days could potentially result in a massive increase in bee swarms,' he explained. 'What the public will see is a "cloud" of up to 50,000 bees. The sky turns black. The sound is deafening.' While this sounds like the start of a horror film, Mr Edwards maintains that the swarming bees are 'generally not aggressive.' He added: 'Swarming bees are generally not aggressive. They have no home to defend, no reason to sting.' Mr Edwards, who runs Black Mountain Honey, explained that swarming is the honeybees' 'way of surviving'. 'It's how they reproduce on a colony level,' he said. 'When a hive becomes overcrowded, the old queen leaves with thousands of workers to find a new home. 'It's not chaos, it's one of the most extraordinary natural behaviours on the planet.' Usually, beekeepers actively manage their colonies to prevent swarming. However, the UK heatwave could have provided the perfect conditions for a mass swarming event. 'Heatwaves can trigger a "nectar tsunami" that saturates the inside of the beehive with this sweet, sugary solution,' Mr Edwards warned. 'This is generally good for bees but if the beekeeper hasn't provided enough space for this bounty of nectar, it can trigger rapid swarming events, even in urban areas.'

Gemma Collins left 'terrified' after being sent 'rat poison' in the post as TOWIE star ups security at her mansion following menacing letter earlier this month
Gemma Collins has been left 'terrified' after she was sent rat poison in the post as her stalking hell intensifies. The reality star, 44, is said to be 'reeling' after a package containing the toxicant was delivered to her Essex home. Gemma is believed to have reported the incident to police after a 'nasty' glittery note was also found inside the package. A source told The Sun: 'The package was really scary and she was terrified to receive it. 'It was delivered by the postman, but had no postage stamp on it. 'Gemma was worried as it contained rat poison, especially as she has animals at her home.' The reality star, 44, is said to be 'reeling' after a package containing the toxicant was delivered to her Essex home MailOnline has contacted a rep for Gemma for comment. It comes after it was revealed how Gemma was forced to call in police after previously being left 'terrified' by a nasty letter delivered to her home. A source close to the reality star told The Sun how the note detailed the twisted sender's strong dislike for Gemma. After the menacing letter, Gemma was said to have beefed up security at her mansion and police were investigating. Gemma, who was a car dealer before shooting to fame when she landed a role on ITV's The Only Way Is Essex, previously spoke about her experience with stalking. She told how she's had 'scary' people turn up at her shop in Essex and send her terrifying letters. She told how it 'played havoc on her mind' and was the reason she stepped away from her front of house work at her boutique in Brentwood. Appearing on the Daily Mail's Everything I Know About Me Podcast, Gemma said: 'No one would believe the bl**dy crap I've had to deal with. 'I've had a woman stalker that wrote me a letter in white gloves and wanted to kill me. 'You know, people would wish me dead. I'd get all sorts turn up at the shop. Weird. People are weird. And that's why in a way I came away from my shop in the end.' In 2019, Gemma was forced to move out of her home in Essex over stalking fears, with removal vans being pictured at the property at the time. She had been stalked by a man that previously fat-shamed her. It comes after Gemma recently told fans how she had been struck down with pneumonia as she explained her absence from social media. Gemma explained that her condition had been leaving her breathless 'really quickly' but due to medics diagnosing it as viral, antibiotics would be ineffective. She told The Mirror: 'It's shocking, I've had it now for over three weeks and I had steroids given to me by my doctor. It was DJ Fat Tony's wedding and I had to take them to get through that,' 'But I'm off them now and the sickness is really kicking back in. It's so frustrating because I normally have so much energy and I'm always loving life, but now I get really breathless really quickly and I feel like I'm dying.' Pneumonia is inflammation of the lungs, usually caused by an infection. Most people get better in two to four weeks, but babies, older people, and people with heart or lung conditions are at risk of getting seriously ill and may need treatment in hospital. Taking to her Stories Gemma shared snaps as she underwent X-rays while praising medical staff for their care. She wrote: 'Thank you to all the amazing doctors helping me your real life angels'. Announcing the news of her condition on Wednesday, Gemma shared a photo of herself in bed looking poorly in bed. She wrote: 'Hey guys sorry been quiet i have Pneumonia. I'm not as fast or on it as I usually am on the daily. 'I am still honouring my work commitments which is taking every bit of energy I have but will be back entertaining you all soon.' On her Story she added an update as she showed she was on a drip and had been visited by a doctor. One post that showed a drip in her arm read: 'I'm having to take it easy which is not like me very slow and get so out of breath and tired so quick.' WHAT IS PNEUMONIA? Pneumonia is a type of chest infection that affects the tiny air sacs in the lungs. The condition causes these sacs to be become inflammed and fill with fluid, making it harder to breathe. Pneumonia is caused by bacteria or viruses, with the most common being Streptococcus pneumoniae. It affects between five and 11 out of every 1,000 adults every year in the UK. Anyone can suffer from pneumonia, however, at-risk groups include: Babies and young children People over 65 Those with long-term heart, lung or kidney disease People with cancer, particularly those having chemotherapy Smokers Those on drugs that suppress their immune systems Antibiotics or mechanical ventilator use in hospitals also raise the risk. Symptoms include Coughing up mucus Fever Chest pain Loss of appetite Fatigue In severe cases, sufferers may cough up blood, vomit or have a rapid heart rate. Treatment is usually antibiotics, which may need to be given intravenously in hospital in severe cases.
