Shoppers were forced to flee a branch of Topshop after a swarm of bees began nesting on the shop’s front in the middle of central London. The bees targeted a discount sign on the window of Topshop in Victoria Street, turning the fashion store display into a carpet of insects and sending shoppers running for cover.
