I got a phone call today from one of our Vespa girl's husband to ask me to contact a friend's wife who is an apiarist. Fortuitously, I was already with them having lunch.
The Vespa girl runs a weekly car boot sale event at a local rugby club.
Her Vespa was parked at the venue, and a swarm of bees decided to move into the scoot.
As my friends are currently moving house, all her bee-keeping equipment has already relocated, so we had to improvise.
A spadeful of coals from a barbeque fire and some wet toilet paper on top created enough smoke to persuade the swarm to move on elsewhere. Until they did, they were somewhat of a curiosity and a public safety hazard.
