The swarm timed their invasion just before the semifinals of Fashions in the Fields, but the interruption was not enough to dampen spirits at what organisers and police said was a well-behaved event.- Slideshow: Melbourne Cup day at Wingatui

Sergeant Kevin Davidson, of Mosgiel, said bee swarms were a common natural occurrence.
He said the crowd was both one of the smallest and best-behaved police had seen, he said.
