WATCH: Mayhem as Molineux swarm won't buzz off

A Wolves supporter had to abandon his car at Molineux for more than nine hours after it was attacked by bees.

Matt Potts was left bee-side himself following a visit to the club shop on Saturday afternoon when he returned to his silver Ford Focus on the club car park and found it under attack by a huge swarm. The 38-year-old was forced to abandon his car until a beekeeper could be found to remove the invaders.

But finding a beekeeper proved no easy task – despite the efforts of club shop staff – as they were all congregated at a 'Healthy Bee' training day in Shugborough.

It meant Mr Potts had to leave his car at the ground and get the 'buzz' home to Willenhall.

Mr Potts had visited the shop with his brother Chris to buy a 70th birthday present for his father, Gerald, at around 12.30pm on Saturday.

And there was a nasty sting in the tail when the delay of more than nine hours meant he and his family were late for Gerald's birthday meal.

"It was absolutely crazy," said Mr Potts' partner, Michelle, aged 40, from Willenhall. "They'd only been in the shop for 10 minutes and when they came out there were bees all over his car.

"They were all over the back of the car and were starting to get under the bonnet. I've never seen anything like it. No one wanted to go near it in case we got stung.

"There were no bees on any of the other cars. I think we must have been singled out by the gold and black army!"

A beekeeper arrived at the scene at around 6pm, but the stubborn bees rejected his efforts to coax them into a box.

Mr Potts said: "He was trying everything but they just wouldn't go in. He said it was because it was still too warm, so we had to wait a few hours for it to cool down."

Eventually the bees relinquished their grip on Mr Potts's car and the beekeeper was able to take them to their new home for the summer, a hive in Wombourne.
