A swarm of up to 25,000 bees is on the loose in a country park, visitors have been warned.
Visitors to Hartsholme Country Park in Lincoln are being urged to steer clear of the swarm by the city's council.
Norman Staley-Brookes, a specialist in dealing with bees, has now been called in by the authority to help contain them.
A spokeswoman for Lincoln City Council said: "It happens from time to time, especially at this time of year.
"It's a natural occurrence. It happens when a new queen bee develops and the current queen takes her swarm with her to another hive.
"We advise people not to go anywhere near the swarm."
