Update on bees

As ever, nothing is as it seems.

A very nice beekeeper came and looked at our bees. Apparently they have not got into the attic. There are just so many of them that they have 'leaked' into the attic and head towards any chinks of light, and so into a room.

So far, so good. It was very nice of him to come out and check, and I am grateful. Apparently it is an 'extremely large' colony from what he can see. He was watching the cloud of bees flying around and said that they should have been all tucked in the hive - the hive is full.

So in the next few weeks there may be a swarm. I shall keep an eye out. Hopefully nothing will settle nearby.

Sort of reassuring.
