The Latics are due to face fellow Lancashire side Blackburn Rovers in a pre-season friendly this afternoon.

Blackburn said on their Twitter feed that the beekeeper was able to clear the swarm before kickoff at 3pm.

This afternoon's match is Blackburn's second friendly in less than 24 hours after they overcame Tranmere Rovers last night.
