    This is not a Beyoncé post people, if you came here for that Queen B best you be on your way.

    We’re dealing with the flying honey-makers here, and the story of how the queen of a hive became trapped in the back of a 4×4.

    Her loyal hive were not to be deterred, around 20 000 of them chasing the car for two full days and swarming the boot. Metro reports:

    …it took five different beekeepers, park rangers and passers-by to coax them off into a cardboard box, only for the wind to blow it off the car and the queen go back to the silver Mitsubishi Outlander’s boot.

    Roger Burns of Pembrokeshire Beekeepers then says the car’s owner returned and drove away with the queen unknowingly trapped in the back, resulting in the swarm taking up the chase – even being spotted on the car’s boot the next day.

    Roger, a 65-year-old retired doctor, said: ‘We think the queen had been attracted to something in the car, perhaps something sweet, and had got into a gap on the boot’s wiper blade or perhaps the hinge…

    ‘We were left with a swarm of queen-less bees in the box and then heard that the same car was spotted the very next day with a swarm all over the boot, still chasing it.’

    Apparently this one had something of a happy ending, with the queen eventually reunited with her devoted followers.

    Sweet.
