Whhaaaa girls No!

Well a large blue bottle came hovering in and the girls were following it for a while with me sitting there watching laughing, it flew near me over and away and then I realised it wasn't flying like a blue bottle, it came closer again and I realised it was a larrrggggge bee! Now although I don't mind bee's in comparison to wasps, I'm still afraid of them and would rather even deal with a spider than a flying stinging machine, so legged it out the living room and closed the door in the hope of it just flying out... Nope. In fact I peered round the door and it was very angry climbing the window with each of my girls on either side batting it down then letting it go (I would have let them if they weren't in danger of being stung) so i had to trap it in a spider catcher and take it outside.... it was maaaaaaad!

Mary is a sod for the beasties, she ate two butterflies last year, but haven't encountered any bees yet.

Oh good for you helen, we need to keep our bees and not kill them, they are the goodies. wasps now? kill the
