Warwickshire Police said: “The original plan was to place a temporary hive (pictured) to attract them so they could be moved elsewhere. “But the beekeeper remarked that HQ is actually a great place for them to settle, so now we are doing some behind-the-scenes work to see if this idea has wings. “If the plan goes ahead, maybe we could recruit our new friends.

"Anyone know what the biggest police drone force is?

"With a few thousand winged colleagues, we reckon we’d take the world record.”
