Bee Lore

Anyway, by this stage it was half past four and Mum said that we should find someone to take the bees away.  She suggested that I ring the local butchers shop as they sold local honey.  Not my first thought of action, but a sensible one.  Mum always had sensible ideas in an emergency.  The butcher gave us the name of a local beekeeper who answered their phone straight away.  It was a quietly spoken woman.  I explained what the situation was and she said:  “I’ll be over right away.  It should take me about 20 minutes”.
