Pedestrian traffic affected by bee swarm on Auckland's Queen Street.

A significant swarm of bees disrupted pedestrian traffic on Auckland's Queen St this afternoon. The swarm gathered at a busy intersection, leading to the redirection of foot traffic around Queen St. According to NewstalkZB, thousands of bees were seen clustering around a signboard at the corner of Queen St and Wellesley St West, near The Civic, attracting the attention of onlookers. Adrian Wilson, Head of Compliance at Auckland Council, stated that a compliance warden had notified the Auckland Beekeepers Club about the situation. “We currently have four wardens on site redirecting foot traffic,” Wilson noted.
