It turns out that bees are crafty. Once a hive has been emptied then any other bees on the hunt for honey can whiff free honey for miles and come calling…..so there is also a chance that a neighbouring hive may decide to upgrade to a better location. Oh joy.
Cue reinforcements…pest control and then chimney sweep- we have to get rid of the honey to stop the swarms. Battle commences tomorrow.
So for the second time Mr Fogg donned full motorcycle gear (it’s the only thing that fully covers him up) and batted and swatted our house guests.
I confess I cowered upstairs.
Oh but we did learn that the rather heavy Vax vacuum cleaner I bought sure does suck up bees quickly. It did say designed for animals on the box, not sure that’s what they had in mind though!
Onwards and upwards. What’s next I wonder? Resident bats in the loft?
