Carol Howarth most likely never expected a trip to the grocery store to end in a rescue operation. But that’s exactly what happened. A queen bee had somehow gotten trapped inside her vehicle; a swarm of 20,000 bees followed, and a team of experts were called to save the day.
The woman had parked her Mitsubishi Outlander in the town of Haverfordwest, Wales, to do some shopping. It’s not clear how or when the queen bee got inside, but the car was soon swarming near the rear hatch of the vehicle. At some point while Howarth was away, a local named Tom Moses happened by her car, saw the swarm, and got worried.
