Washed feet, Spacie?

The Sevenoaks sub-branch will be interested to know that bees swarmed this afternoon in front of Mamma Cappuccini. Much panic by bystanders as well as varying identification as wasps, flies, and even daddy longlegs. Bees are actually harmless when they swarm since they don't have a nest to protect and are laden with honey they have taken from the old nest. The swarm is now sitting in one of the trees in front of the pub next door, waiting for the drones to find them a new nest. That will probably be in someone's chimney nearby.

I suspect the plods will call a local apiarist who will come and take it to an empty hive. The bees will reward him by giving him lots of lovely honey.

K, they are normally fairly harmless, they don't seem to like being disturbed but of you leave them alone they want harm anyone.

We had a swarm of bees settle on the outside of house and then make a home in the wall cavity, in the end after about 4-6 weeks we had to have them destroyed, we didn't want to but we were advised that it was the only option (by local bee-keepers) as the nest was inaccessible and the bees can do damage (honey soaks into walls etc..), for about 2 years after this we had a faint smell of honey in the room nearest where they had been. The bee-keeper described the original swarm as huge.

While they were in residence we had literally hundreds of bees getting inside our house but they seemed to die pretty quickly, I think they must need food or water or something, I remember one weekend when we had been away that the floor was covered dead bees.

Morning has broken.

blackbird has spoken.

And we shall have tea......morning all.

Morning opti, tea sounds good along with a FEB ;-)

FEB been and gone tea all the way to lunchtime....with the odd danish (lovely girl she is) beats Olga :-)

Is the floor wet or isn't it?

I think that's just a damp patch where I spilled my wine . . .

chocolat, that's one of the great questions that philosophers have been asking for a long while.

Currently we have no sign stating that the floor is wet, but who knows .....

Is the floor wet, dry or indeed, there at all, if I can't see it?

In other words, was the floor laid by Erwin Schroedinger?

and if Erwin did lay the floor was a cat involved? and if so does it subscribe to the Many-Worlds Theory?

Now lets not get into decoherence.....

I think, therefore Siam!

Anybody missing a bucket of Guinness?

Why, did you step in it?

Blimey Spacie - where's that sign gone?

chocolat, no idea I just noticed it wasnt there and assumed the night shift had removed it.

Hey K, yes ;-)

Spaceman, was it a shiny metal bucket?
