    The bee suffered more than I did Arie (though for a far shorter time). :) Just glad I'm not allergic.

    I didn't even hear or see it. How do these bazza's get into peoples homes :confused: it's 7 degrees out so windows are closed.

    Where are you Dude?

    Had a few 10+C days here in Scotland and I think that's what woke the wee beastie up, due a couple of cooler wet days now though.

    Still in the rubbish bin John, would you like me to post it out to you? :)

    Steve, I got it, but if you're googling birds (of the feathered kind) mating you need help and even if they're not feathered I'm sure there's a law against that :)

    Joys of Spring.

    Spring has sprung, the Grass is riz
    I wonder where them birdies is.
    The little birds are on the wing,
    but I think that's absurd.
    For the little wings are on the bird.

    Just caught up with your stinging news Wildfire. Bees are attracted to the colour blue - anything to do with the local temperature - blue with the cold?

    We have the local golf club members who will wear shorts and expose their legs doing all sorts of funny jumps and slaps because the bees are hovering around their heads. Club cap is BLUE! Lots of golf bags are BLUE.:eek:

    Yes, we are still enjoying the bees and the birds as Summer is still here. Just finished Daylight saving last night so these pleasures will slowly diminish. Cheers Neil.:D
