An Aussie man created the wrong kind of buzz this week.

Rizwan Khan made a brief stop at a grocery store in Sydney. When he returned to the parking lot 10 minutes later, according to local reports, he was shocked to see a crowd of people buzzing around his vehicle, snapping photos and shooting videos with their phones.

Turns out a swarm of hundreds of bees had settled inside the driver’s side doorframe.

“Maybe they liked my Jeep, you know?” Mr Khan told 9 News.

As luck would have it, a beekeeper was nearby and witnessed the parking lot buzz.

He made a beeline for the swarm, scooped it into a box using his bare hands, and helped Khan safely return to his vehicle.

“He was a lifesaver for me,” the driver said.
