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.
