An invasion of bees has shut down a Glasgow bar and restaurant, leaving its owners to complain of a lack of help.

<a href="https://www.telegraph.co.uk/environment/2023/06/16/honey-bees-endangered-species-public-menace/">A huge swarm of the insects</a> descended on 63rd+1st, on the city’s Bothwell Street, on Sunday morning.

They settled on a railing directly outside the trendy cocktail bar, leaving staff to flee via a fire exit and to advise customers that they were closed due to safety concerns.

The business was closed for more than a day after the bees gradually moved the side of a wheelie bin, which was moved away from the entrance.

Petya Petrova, a manager at the bar, said the bees had “just arrived randomly” and settled onto the railing within 10 minutes.
