On Friday I got a call for a swarm in a local garden.
Sceptical, I asked about its size and access to it and it was a classic rose bush swarm that was about 12" by 12", so too big to leave to the elements and I could have had it boxed in no time.
As I couldn't leave for half an hour, closer to 1300, I said there is always a chance as the day was warming up, they would move on. And what do you know, just as I grabbed my car keys, there was a text with a pic of the same rose bush, but without the swarm. They'd buggered off.
Oh well, someone else's problem now.
