I was in the back garden one sunny day with my young son, heard a loud humming sound and saw a dark black "cloud" in next doors garden.

It was a swarm of bees moving home (must have been in a tree?), awesome to watch but a bit worrying as well!.

I booted a wasp that kept buzzing past my lad (landed on a Laurel leef), not a good idea in flip-flops as it got caught between my foot and the sole..

We get a swarm of bees every spring that rest in the eaves outside my bedroom window for a few hours, before moving on. The first year we rang a bee keeper who said they tend to "visit" the same places every year. Apparently they are very docile when swarming and are best left to their own devices if you don't mind them. Personally I find it quite enjoyable to be a bee hotelier once a year.

Wasps on the other hand can go to hell if they think I am doing room service for them.
