BEES gave a meter man an unusual problem when he came round to read the gas at Diane Williams' home off Putton Lane, Chickerell.
Diane said: "He hadn't been here long when he was back to say there were bees making honey in the meter box.
"We were laughing because we thought we would have liquid gold for sale.
"I am now waiting to contact the gas people so they can tell me what to do because the bees are round the pipes. If they say it is safe for a beekeeper to come and get them then hopefully they will be collected."
