WEST HULL: A swarm of bees which led to the closure of the Pearson Park wildlife garden have been captured and rehomed.
Thousands of honey bees entered the Yorkshire Wildlife Trust- owned garden on Monday.
Beekeeper Chris Coulson was called to help remove them.
He set up a basket in the trees which the bees used to shelter from the rain, pictured.
Once they were collected, Mr Coulson took them away and rehomed them in a hive.
Jess Charlton, of the trust, said: "They came in overhead. One minute the sky was clear and the next it was full of bees.
"For nature lovers like ourselves it was very exciting but it could be quite scary for some people."
E RIDING: Six new homes could be built in Elloughton under new plans.
Essential Estates Ltd wants to develop some scrub land off Main Street to provide the six homes, which would comprise three and four- bedroom properties.
The applicant argues the development will be in keeping with the area and not seriously impact on neighbouring properties.
Essential Estates Ltd also feels it will help meet the East Riding's shortfall in homes.
East Riding Council's planning committee will consider the application in September.
