Thousands of bees appeared swarming around calle Luis Gonzaga Llorente in Elche on Thursday, causing considerable alarm to residents in the area.
The bees were in the area for about 3 hours, forcing residents to close windows and doors, although there were no reports of any entering properties.
A number of residents called the police, who in turn called for the assistance of a beekeeper, although the insects dispersed of their own accord.
