I had just arrived home the other evening when I received a frantic phone call from one of my neighbours. There was a swarm of bees round a small tree in his front garden.

I told him not to worry and I would be over shortly to have a look. I had half expected to find a wasp nest when I arrived. It is funny how many people can’t tell the difference between wasps, bumble bees and honey bees. I have been called out for a swarm of bees a few times but when I arrive I find mostly wasps and bumble bees.

To my surprise (and delight as I had just completed constructing a third hive) it actually was a swarm of honey bees!

One of the neighbors had a video camera, so this is me (The Fat Bloke) up a tree!
