Andratx street closed because of a swarm of bees

The bees nest was in a house undergoing redevelopment. The police officer had gone to the house after reports of a swarm of bees. He required medical treatment for stings to his face and ears.

A beekeeper tried to control the swarm but was unsuccessful. The Mallorca Fire Brigade was therefore called in. Firefighters secured the area and eventually removed the honeycomb.
