Description:
A retired engineer is set to become an accidental beekeeper - after deciding to keep a thousands-strong swarm that appeared in his garden. <br/><br/>Dave Freiter and his neighbours were left gobsmacked when the huge colony turned up outside his home in Maidstone, Kent, and settled on his waste bin.<br/><br/>There were so many bees that Mr Freiter, 62, could not see the houses on the other side of the road - prompting him to call for help from Mid Kent Beekeepers. <br/><br/>Volunteers quickly showed up and had the swarm, which had settled on Mr Freiter's waste bin, under control in just a few hours. <br/><br/>They and Mr Freiter are now looking for a hive which the bees can call home.
