Honey bee swarm showing waggle dance. This swarm was arranged on a pear tree at Copped Hall in the walled garden and had been forming for 3 days. Just after I had taken pictures our bee keeper arrived to knock them into a box for transportation to one of our hives - we already have 2 active.

May 20 has been designated as World Bee Day. To commemorate I have posted this picture from around 90 years ago, probably taken at the Royal Lancashire Show, of my dad holding a frame out of a beehive.
In later life he inherited my Granddad's bees but he became dangerously allergic to be stings and had to give up keeping them
A little video from a summer gone by. I thought the bees had a wonderful home there. Found this in the middle of a clearing a little bit out of the way.
