Town centre bee swarm
CROWDS were drawn in Dorchester town centre yesterday as yet another swarm of bees arrived.
Shoppers watched as the swarm took up residence on a lamppost in South Street.
Dorchester beekeeper Glenn Ashcroft helped coax the bees into a box and move them on to a more suitable home.
Earlier this month a similar swarm formed a football-sized huddle in a garden in Preston.
Before that, swarms were spotted on Weymouth seafront and in Dorchester's High West Street.

I think a few may have been left behind as they are still swarming around the lamp post this morning with the looks of a nest alongside the hanging basket!

Probably chose the town because we have built on where they used to live.
