Jeremy has given them sugar water for “supper”

So off we went in our bee suits, with box and broom to find the swarm …. click below

After Jeremy had swept the swarm into a box our friend met us with a wheelbarrow and Jeremy wheeled them back to The Gables.

The children came out to see the bees

The three week old goslings are confounding their “hen” mother. Geese are grass grazers, chickens peck. Mother hens watches her huge offspring pull at snd eat blades of grass. She looks confused.

We gave a piece of our frozen halloumi to visitors last week. I opened an email tonight and saw what they cooked

My job is to puff smoke over the bees to keep them calm (apparently).
