Swarm 2

Danielle is away in Birmingham and Cheterfield today. Meaning that her bees inevitably chose to swarm again. I was in the garden digging a bed to put carrots in, when I heard a loud humming even above the radio I had on my headphones. "That sounds like bees..." I looked up to see the sky full of crazed bees flying in all directions. I retreated to observe from safety. They swirled and swirled until they decided to form a swarm in a plum tree, right outside Rowan's bedroom window. All very interesting but not good news for honey production. So we await the beekeepers return...
