Yesterday evening sat on patio having a G&T and had some serious close attention from one lady bee, too close really, she hovered infront of me and eyeballed me, I get the feeling she didn't want me in garden! So beat a retreat to house, waited ten minutes went out again, sat down and she mae a beeline for me straight from hive! So is she a guard on extended picket duty or a bunny boiler bee? Is it even the same bee, well she flew exactly the same path, well fingers crossed she will be dead in three weeks and then I can enjoy my evening G&T.
Maybe she doesn't like G&T, I had been laying infront of hive watching comings and goings without any problem the previous few nights!
Got me thinking though, is the hive too close to patio, perhaps it needs moving further away, so decided to move it three feet a night, bloody hell it's heavy!! Looks like it's staying where it is, they must have been very busy in four days building comb and storing honey.
OK plan "Bee", if they still keep taking too much interest in me and my G&T I'll stick it out this year and buy a new queen for next year, some much for these being gentle bees! :-)
Can't wait to open hive on Wednesday if weather ok, to see just what they have been doing.
