Oooh, ahhh, that's how it always starts. Then later there's running and screaming.

10 points for naming the film that quote comes from :)

Mrs FG and I looked through both colonies a few minutes ago and put on an Apiguard treatment for both. By the time we'd finished, we weren't very popular at all and had a small fan club each giving us the message big time.

I left my glasses on the fence, around 15m from the first hive (50m from the house). I need them off to see eggs at the bottom of cells. I didn't realise they were still there until we were back in the house, some 10 minutes later, so I went back without my bee suit on to get them.

I was 'met' by a couple of bees who weren't willing to have any more 'love and attention' today; full-on high-pitched attack mode right in the ear got me "running and screaming" back to the house fairly sharply :) I had to get the suit on again to get my glasses back . . .

Hopefully, they will forgive us in time and we won't have to wear bee suits every time we go out.
