Hello everyone,
How are you?
During the week we had a bee swarm appear...
On Thursday of last week a bee swarm appeared - it started as a big black swirling ball arriving at the top of the driveway, within minutes had whirled their way down the entrance raod and maid themselves comfortable by the gates of the car park.

After a debate about what to do, and closely watching, the bees made their way over to the Visitor Centre and to the back of the building (near the picnic area) where they nest every year. (Appologies to the couple having a nice picnic, then all of a sudden being surrounded by a gang of bees! Lucki;y, the bees seemed to know exactly where they wanted to go and didn't bother, or join in on the picnic for long).
