What's flying near you?

I was planting out yesterday afternoon and heard a strange noise. We get plenty of those with trains, helicopters, aircraft revving up on the ground, explosions etc being near 2 military establishments and the railway. This was similar to machinery or garden equipment but not quite and it sounded quite near. Got of the ground (with difficulty) and looked around and saw, under the shade of the copper beech a swarm of bees. I was thinking of shutting myself in the shed out of the way but they slowly moved on to be someone else's problem/benefit. Only ever once in the past 40 years seen a swarm - I hid in the gh then Smile I think I'm a wuss.

It works on both threads       . I’ve only seen a swarm once. Fascinating to watch.
