Catch the buzz!
2years ago,I posted a blog about having discovered a wild hive of bees whilst out walking in nature.Pardon the pun,but it gave me quite a buzz!
Last year,I hiked to the same place,and to my disappointment,the bees had gone.I don't know what happened.There were pieces of honeycomb lying around the base of the tree,but no sign of any bees.I felt the silence all around me and realised they had probably swarmed and established a new hive somewhere in the surrounding hills.
This year I didn't have to go anywhere,the bees came here!
2 days ago,on a warm and sunny day,I was sitting on the steps,drinking my morning green juice,when I heard that familiar buzzing sound to my right.My curiosity led me to the patio where there was an astonishing sight.
There were dozens of bees buzzing across the surface,well over a hundred of them!
I watched them in amazement while they went about their business,and because they're so close,I get to observe them,and what they get up to on a daily basis!
What,who,where and when gives you a buzz? (in the best possible sense!)
