Our Own Plan Bee!

Up on the Bee Friendly Place early Friday morning we had a good view for the eclipse due at 9.25am didn't have any sunglasses, was a touch cloudy but still had a great experience. It didn't go pitch black for us, just as dark as about 10.00am in high summer, the birds stopped singing and it was really quite for 10 minute or so, great experience.

9.25am........ 20/03/15

 

 

Everything was going great, until our plan to get some sub base to create a path and base for the new to us summerhouse went wrong, delivery was due 1.00pm but didn't arrive till 2.00pm and then the truck got stuck and couldn't reverse up to our patches, the truck also couldn't go forwards! as the tyres kept spinning churning up the grass, the only thing we could do to get the truck out was to tip the stone.........8ton of crushed brick and concrete right there but it was in the middle of the main gateway to the field! but there was nothing else we could do or think of.

 

When it tipped out, our heart sunk it was a LOT of stone and in the wrong place our neighbours were sure going to say something about it!

 

 

 

 

We franticly started shovelling, but one old 'drone bee' and a 'wanna bee' needed at least 5,000 more worker bees to move the stone if we were to clear the entrance way for others to use the field, did they come and help? no chance the girls are still in the hive :-(

 

Only thing for it was Plan Bee to come back really early, really early at 6.30am next morning and start to shift it all who says that drone bees are good for nothing, that statement needs more investigating drone bees probably do a lot of good things for the hive!

 

 

 

"Who says the girls do all the work! 

 

 

Put it in here......easy, except for the distance!
