This is worth seeing



I swear it's not click bait and there is a story to it;

So I harvested some honey from the bee hives a few weeks ago and in the process I moved some frames around to a dead hive, that put a whole bunch of bees in an unknown location so they took a few days to reorient to the home hive, in the process a whole bunch of them ended up in the greenhouse, that evening it got pretty cold so they got stuck there. In the morning when it warmed up there was probably 800 bees in the greenhouse and a few  of them found there way to the Crocus cartwrightianus 'Marcel' Click on the video to see what it looks like:

It's 70 outside right now! Crazy for almost November.

Cheers,
Mark
