It's frightening(令人恐惧的) when many bees are flying together and coming too close.
A few years ago, Lisa Turnbull was in her home. She made a cake and left it on the kitchen table. When she opened the kitchen window to help the cake cool more quickly, she didn't notice lots of bees flying around in her back garden. A few minutes later, Lisa heard a loud noise coming from her kitchen. She opened the door and saw a group of bees all over her kitchen table. The bees left their old home and were looking for a new one. It seemed that the queen bee(蜂王) liked the cake and landed on it. About 15,000 others followed her. Luckily, Lisa knew a bit about bees so she knew they weren't dangerous. She told herself she didn't need to be afraid. She calmly closed the door and called a beekeeper to take the bees away.
Last summer, the same thing happened to John Norton. He was driving home and he found thousands of bees following his car. He then stopped his car, hoping that they would fly on and leave him. However, they landed on the back of it and stayed there. Feeling very frightened, John called a beekeeper. They found that the queen bee flew into the boot(后备箱) of the car while John was putting some shopping into it. When he closed the boot, she was inside. So when he drove off, the rest of the bees followed. The beekeeper spent over three hours removing all the bees.
