Honey bees swarm
Today, a swarm of bees collected on the adventure playground, pausing to have a rest before finding themselves a new home. Our children were very sensible and kept well away while watching them with great interest. At lunchtime they departed and headed off, perhaps for somewhere a little quieter! (We had arranged for a beekeeper to come and take them away to a new home but they were waiting till late at night to make sure they could collect all of the bees in one group.)
