Swarm of bees attracts attention at Guildford festival

A swarm of bees caused a stir at the Guilfest festival in Stoke Park, Guildford, as they gathered on an umbrella. Off-duty beekeepers relocated the swarm to a nearby field after it attracted attention on Sunday, with videos circulating online. Clive Branch, a festival attendee, estimated there were around 1,000 bees, calling it a "large mass."

Photographer Martin Bamford shared on Facebook that he noticed the swarm while leaving the main stage. He assisted security in managing the situation, stating that with help from beekeepers, the swarm was carefully transferred from the umbrella into a cardboard box. The crowd was cleared, and the bees followed their queen's pheromones to their new location.
