There was an un-bee-lievable buzz around Ryde Pier Head yesterday (Sunday), when thousands of bees descended on Wightlink's Isle of Wight ferry terminal.

Visitors to the Ryde FastCat couldn't bee-lieve their eyes as the insects swarmed on the main entrance.

Wightlink said the bees, of which there were around 40,000, were hunting for a new home.

They were pictured on the curbside, outside the terminal.

A local beekeeper was on hand to help out.

They were successfully rehomed in Brading.
