I was working in my garage yesterday and heard an episode of The Archers and had a right laugh. The storyline:
Grandma has bees and grandson looks after them.
Grandson lost a swarm. Grandma upset.
Grandson told to find the swarm and he hunts round the village. No luck.
Grandma VERY upset.
Next day a farm worker finds the swarm when removing cover from baler. Gets stung twice as the bees fly out.
Grandson called in.
He takes a box and "finds the queen and a few scouts", places them in the box and all the bees dutifully follow suit.
Grandma delighted and feeds him a special meal.
That was the work of the agricultural editor who no doubt is on mega bucks....
