Hey lady,
I am so looking forward to catching up with your blog, but on this busy morning I will just respond to your comment on ours- I just listed the red Gunne, and it is a size 7. I know, too small for me too, I need the 9s. The jeans will be listed tomorrow or Wednesday! If you want us to reserve them just so no one snags them before you see them, with no commitment to buy on your part if the measurements aren’t right, let us know!

Tanya – a beekeeper will probably happily take them off your hands!!

We had a swarm in our back garden once when I was little. They went into one of our apple trees too. We called a beekeeper from the the village and he came along armed only with a cardboard box. Somehow he got them all in there, drove them home and set them up in their new hive. We used to go and visit them and got honey from them all the time!

We have a small hive of bees living underneath a pipe, outside of our bathroom window. They’ve been there for a few years. I have no idea what we can do about them. They don’t really come into the house, unless it’s night time and someone has left a light on, with the window open. They are drawn to the light and one or two stray bees will fly in, lost and frantic. I would feel more comfortable not having them right outside the bathroom, but so far nobody has been stung and they just… hang out. I wonder if some place like PETA extends its care for animals to insects, and could come to collect these bees and take them somewhere out to nature or something.

Yes! She has 5 now with this new one, and will probably sell one or 2. Insane! The new swarm is considered healthy, though, I guess? The power-bees. It is so interesting!
