Brownster<p>Had a swarm of bees fly over head this morning at the allotment, you hear them first of course, then slowly make their way up, we thought they may have stopped at one of the allotments, but we couldn't hear them as we left so maybe not. We get a fair few swarms here and used to have a local bee keeper come and get any that landed. We had three swarms one year, and one landed just above our compost heap at home! Amazing to see the keeper just come and calmly cut the branch they were on and put it in a sort of temporary box, then come back later that evening when he felt the rest had gathered in it. Marvellous thing. <a href="https://sunny.garden/tags/bees" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>bees</span></a> <a href="https://sunny.garden/tags/allotment" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>allotment</span></a></p>
