Nepean Highway, Brighton: Uncommon sight on boot of BMW

A Melbourne motorist could hardly believe his eyes on Wednesday morning as he got closer to the car in front of him.

Talkback radio was abuzz on Wednesday morning after a motorist sent a picture of the rear of the car in front of him into Melbourne’s 3AW.

Jeff told 3AW that he took the photo on the Nepean Highway, in Brighton, and initially thought it was mud.

“I saw this X4 in front of me and I thought, ‘Well, this guy or this person doesn’t look after their X4 very well’,” Jeff said.

“As I got closer I realised it was a swarm of bees.”

Jeff said when the BMW stopped, dozens of bees “would sort of scatter”.

“As it started to drive off again the bees would come back again.”

Jeff said he followed the car for “at least” 10km.
