The bees
On May 15th there was much activity in Lower Froyle as a wandering swarm of bees passed through various gardens over a period of a couple of hours. Finally it settled in our hawthorn hedge right by the main road through the village.
The beekeepers
Nigel Southern (right) who has two hives of his own - no, they weren't his bees! - joined with another beekeeper to remove the swarm and find them a proper home.

MovieAs you can see in this still from a short video that Nigel shot, the bees were very densely packed inside the hedge. Click the camera icon to see, and hear, a closeup of the bees.
