Sometimes I am not sure if friends are encouraging or just a bit too jubilant when things go wrong. This email arrived a few days ago …
“It seems bees are all the rage, the National Trust is selling a book on bee basics. It includes a few handy tips and 8 don’ts. Number 3 is don’t let your bees swarm, number 4 don’t upset the neighbours (swarming bees in their garden is a no no), I can see these little insects are a real commitment, bring on the baby!!!”
Note: My new wife is pregnant.
