On today’s visit Mikey is looking fresh as he busts out his photo taking moves. Just after this one he moonwalked over to the hive. Sadly the bees didn't appreciate his display and one of them stung him on the cheek. He disappeared inside to rub vinegar on the wound.
While John inspects the frames Bert holds up a piece of comb from inside the lid. It has a touch of the Winehouse about it. Or maybe Marge Simpson.
John walks over with another frame of the good stuff. Bee Number 367456 is keeping an eye on him as Bert dips a finger in. She is not impressed.
Later, as we take our customary tea downstairs afterwards, John pulls out a jar full of Festival Hive Honey. The first one. It’s quite an emotional moment.
Mikey is definitely a little moist around the eyes, but that’s probably because the sting is coming up and he’s got a shiner.
We’re going to have a party to thank the bees for sharing their honey with us. Details to follow.
