OK so I get a phone call about a swarm just across town from me and if anyone knows Norwich they will know it’s not that big. Now this will be my first swarm ever so really excited and adrenaline was pumping. On rout I had to take my young daughter to her school for a disco (she only 10). Height of rush hour so getting quite frustrated. I had already called a friend (Village Girl) who contacted the guy who had the swarm in his garden.
Village Girl gets there and keeps an eye on things while I’m struggling through traffic and with no working air con. Now I’m on the phone to Village and I’m 3 minutes away when she tells me they have all taken to the air. Oh well next time. Sorry Tony if it had not of been for the disco we would have bagged the girls, well boxed them.
Oh where was village Girl’s swarm box (for new beeks we do have all the equipment, well some) strapped up a bl—dy tree baited for a swarm.
