Don't like bees?

Then stay the hell away from North Frederick Street, which has suddenly – and inexplicably – been taken over by a swarm of the little bastards this afternoon.

According to the Live Drive Twitter account, the bees aren't really up to much, but are inadvertently causing a smidge of traffic mayhem by forcing fearful pedestrians on to the street.

Meanwhile, journalist Róisín Treacy has assured us all via Twitter that Gardaí are at the scene.

So that's fine then.

There's a swarm of bees on North Fredrick Street, but it's ok, there's two gardai on bikes and they have the situation UNDER CONTROL.
