Glasgow city centre bar forced to close by huge bee swarm

A Glasgow City centre bar and restaurant was forced to close after a huge swarm of bees gathered and nested outside.

The insects arrived in a mass swarm at the 63rd+1st on Sunday Morning and gradually settled on a railing outside.

Staff were forced to flee via The Fire exit as the insects marked their territory at The Front .

The Bothwell Street bar closed for just over A Day before it reopened on Monday evening.

The Bees gradually relocated to the external side of a nearby wheelie bin.

Staff were able to wheel the bin away from The Entrance and barricade it from The Public .

" Hundreds of them swarmed outside the entire front of The Building , " said duty manager Petya Petrova.

" I have no idea What Happened , they just arrived randomly and settled onto the railing in about 10 Minutes .

" We ended up having to close because it's obviously a safety risk, with it being So Close to The Entrance .

" We put up A Sign to explain we had to close because of the bee colony on The Terrace .

" But we still saw Some People going up close to them and trying to touch The Bees , which probably isn't a good idea. "

The Manager put a bin near The Swarm and gradually they started moving over.

" Apparently they send scouts over to check out a New Place to nest, " She Said .

" And Then they all moved over, which meant we were able to move the bin away from The Entrance and reopen for dinner on Monday night. "

Ms Petrova said she spent days trying to find someone who would deal with The Swarm .

" The Council said they don't deal with bees, " She Said .

" And we phoned a Pest Control company and they arrived and took one look at The Bees and said they couldn't help.

" We spoke to some beekeepers who couldn't send anyone immediately and said we needed to wait 24 to 48 Hours in case it was just a swarm that would move on, and not a nest. "

Beekeepers are due to remove The Bees on Wednesday.

" I've got used to them while they've been there, " said Ms Petrova.

" I'm a lot less scared of bees now. It's mental though, I've never seen anything like it. "
