Social media has been abuzz on Thursday afternoon as thousands of bees have taken up residence at St Peter’s station
The bees were spotted at St Peter’s by passengers early Thursday afternoon, who found large clumps of the insects on the edge of platform one.
Sydney Trains alerted commuters through social media to avoid the final two carriages at the Sydenham end of the station.
People seemed to take the alert less serious, with a barrage of puns instead invading the official transport Twitter page.

‘Omg why aren’t they bee-hind the yellow line?!?’ one person joked.
‘They’re Mis-Bee-having,’ Sydney Trains joined in.
‘What if they have somewhere to… SOMEWHERE TO BEE,’ another person commented.
Sydney Trains said they are currently helping experts relocate the bees to a safer location.
