'Bee' careful out there!

A beehive was successfully removed from a busy pedestrian thoroughfare in the heart of Kilkenny City yesterday.

Gardaí had been alerted to the hive on John Street by a member of the public.

They quickly sealed off the area until an expert arrived to rehome the bees.

"Unfortunately one of our lads got a nasty sting on his forehead but shrugged it off stoicly stating that it was nothing like as bad as Man Flu," gardaí joked on social media.
