BEES, BEES, BEES
Most people enjoy seeing bees in gardens and parks, but it can be scary when they’re flying together in
large numbers, and it can be even more frightening if they come a bit too close!
A few years ago, Lisa Turnbull was in her home in York. She had made a cake and left it on the kitchen
table. She was looking forward to eating it, but when she opened the kitchen window to help the cake cool more
quickly, she unfortunately didn’t notice the large number of bees flying around in her back garden. A few
minutes later, Lisa heard a loud noise coming from her kitchen. She opened the door and saw a huge swarm of
bees all over her kitchen table. The bees had left their old home and were looking for a new one. It seems that
the queen bee, which controls all the others, had fancied a bit of cake and landed on it. She was followed by
15,000 others! Luckily, Lisa knew a bit about bees, so she knew they weren’t dangerous and she didn’t need to
be afraid. She calmly closed the door and called a local beekeeper who found the situation very amusing and
took the bees away. Although her cake wasn’t badly damaged, Lisa didn’t fancy eating it!
Last summer, John Norton from Manchester had a similar experience with a large number of bees. He was
driving home after a long day at work when he noticed thousands of insects following his car. He realized after
a while that they were bees and stopped his car, hoping that they would continue flying on and leave him in
peace. However, when he stopped the car they landed on the back of it and stayed there. Feeling rather nervous,
John used his phone to look online and find the phone number of a local beekeeper. John called him, and the
beekeeper arrived half an hour later. It turned out that the queen bee had flown into the boot of the car while
John was putting some shopping into it. When he closed the boot, she was stuck inside, so when he drove off,
the rest of the bees followed. They somehow knew where their queen was even though they couldn’t see her.
John stayed in his car and didn’t get out until the beekeeper had safely removed all the bees - which took over
three hours! That’s a good excuse for being late home!
